    Hi people,

    I hope I send this message to the right mailinglist. I have been
    learning everyday since I subscribed to some of the securityfocus
    mailinglists.

    At one of our client's company, wher I work as a network system
    engineer (not security related or responsable, thank god!!) we have a
    slight problem you might say, I hope somebody can tell me wat to do;

    the "free-lance" firewall operator/controller had some disagreement
    with his manager about contracts and deserted his post. But not after
    (we discoverd this only day's later) he build in a backdoor route to
    his own cablemodem IP-adres in the router and the firewall. We
    managed to disable this route immediate after we discovered it.

    Still he keep's harrassing our system operators (Now also responsable
    for maintaining security!!) with messages, stating that he still has
    acces to the internal LAN. He even mailed following message to the
    country manager of this company;

    "Hi xxxx
    It is no longer of my bizz,
    but the Three Stooges from sysadmin put some major holes in the
    configuration
    it is now very easy for people from all over the world to gain access
    to
    the companie's LAN,financial database and the websites...
    i noticed that you don't care much for security
    and lost the momentum to do much about the king of the hill politics
    around
    you.
    but there are still some people working there that should not suffer
    from
    the stupidity of the powergreedy and the lack of action from the
    none-interested.
    Have a nice day,
    his name"

    Wat to do, when your "guardian" turns on you?????

    Thank you for your response,

    Coen Bongers
