In 2012, Home Depot hired Ricky Joe Mitchell as its senior IT security architect. Mitchell got the job after being fired from EnerVest Operating in Charleston, WV—and he sabotaged that company’s network in an act of revenge, taking the company offline for 30 days. Mitchell retained his position at Home Depot even after his indictment a year later and remained in charge of Home Depot’s security until he pled guilty to federal charges in January of 2014. I corrected the Ars quote above to read Charleston, WV rather than Charelston, South Carolina as it appear in the original story. arstechnica/security/2014/09/home-depot-ignored-security-warnings-for-years-employees-say/
