If you were feeling malicious at work, what's the most damage you could do?

[Hamish]

So, say you went a bit mental what damage could you do to your company/the country/the world (without violence).

It seems some people round these parts have pretty responsible jobs looking after international internet connections, power grids etc. Must be a bit of damage that could be caused!

I reckon given a few hours I could delete all our clients databases, and probably most of their backups, wipe the email servers and all the filestores locally.

 

[Marine Iguana]

Drop a 40ft shipping container on the office by accident lot of holes

 

[Duff-Man]

I could probably make the coffee too strong... Or maybe fart really pungently.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Systematically dismantle the Servers down to the last component!

 

[Volcs]

I could take out the website of one of the top 20 retailers in the UK - something I almost accidentally do all too frequently.

 

[Skully]

Destroy criminal barristers lives!

 

[shauncr91]

well since i work in fast food, go figure

 

[Col_M]

Delete our CRM database
Call up the senior management of most of the fortune 500 companies and call them names.
Sell financial information to 3rd parties before it's announced to Wall St.
various other small things...

 

[derkaderka]

I could tell our customers (car manufacturers) how much we lie to them about our product
that is safety critical in cars

I could also destroy all our backups of every PC in the entire company , but luckily
Iam not a malicious person

Contender for 'post of the day'.

That did make me chuckle.

 

[Redrum]

In my current job, pretty much nothing except maybe freak a few kids out. In my previous job I could have taken the whole company down along with probably around 30 or so other companies that were dependent on my companies services.

It would have taken about 5 minutes with a pair of wire cutters in the data centre. But then I wasn't given unescorted access to the data centre until I had earnt their trust.

 

[tres]

Not much. Sink the owners boat? Crash a golf buggy. Pay everyone in the company millions of pounds?

 

[Greenlizard0]

In my current job,... kids.

Realisation of potential damage fail.

 

[PiKe]

Format D: 4 years of work, gone.

 

[PR.]

Find and email all staff pay details to everyone else
Deploy an OS destroying virus to all the workstations/laptops
Destroy all the server HDDs and smash all the backup tapes.

Would need a day or so to sort out but it's not impossible... if I went a bit mental that is!

 

[robgmun]

i could bring a london branch of my company down. But it won't distroy them too much. Maybe cost the a few hundred tounsand pounds

 

[PaulStat]

I could take down BT's print capabilities, no-one would receive their paper bills!

 

[Strife212]

What would happen if every single person on OcUK sabotaged their work as much as possible on the same day?

 

[TheCoder]

I could delete AVP3 from the servers preventing its release by a few years HAHAHA

You mean like you did for Duke Nukem Forever? Oh we're not meant to talk about that :\
