Why would it be hard to put it on her server?

I was joking, (only maybe less than I thought). To put an application on a server like that requires administrative access. Somebody with that had to want it there. A hacker wouldn’t bother - if he or she had administrative access there are FAR more interesting things to do than install a disk wiper.

Actually, it *should* be QUITE hard. In the ‘real world’, this would be a classified server and subject to the limitations thereof...no papers in\out of security, certainly no ‘unapproved’ apps installed on the server (let alone the documentation and sign-off required to even BEGIN that discussion).

IOW, it should have been almost IMPOSSIBLE to do what she did (or had done) w/out SOMEONE coming down on her\gang for those violations.

Yep, only now we learn that the guy who did have administrative access may not even have had a security clearance at all. This just keeps getting better and better. Well, the FBI’s on it. That’s a relief...not...
