[pchelpers] News:'Logic Bomb' Backfires on Hacker

December 14, 2006
NEW YORK (Reuters)—A former UBS PaineWebber employee was sentenced to
eight years in prison on Wednesday for planting a computer "logic bomb"

The investment scheme backfired when UBS stock remained stable after the
computer attack and Roger Duronio lost more than $23,000.

A federal judge in New Jersey sentenced Duronio, 64, to 97 months in
prison and ordered him to make $3.1 million in restitution to his former
employer, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement.
