Developing: Feds Allege Plot To Destroy Fannie Mae Data
Hmmmm …?
Feds allege fired Fannie Mae worker planted virus to destroy mortgage company’s computer data
URBANA, Md. — The Justice Department says it foiled a plot by a fired Fannie Mae contract worker in Maryland to destroy all the data on the mortgage giant’s 4,000 computer servers nationwide.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 35-year-old Rajendrasinh Makwana, of Glen Allen, Va., is scheduled for arraignment Friday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on one count of computer intrusion.
U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein says Makwana was fired Oct. 24.
Rosenstein says that on that day, Makwana programmed a computer with a malicious code that was set to spread throughout the Fannie Mae network and destroy all data this Saturday.
Makwana’s federal public defender did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Washington-based Fannie Mae is the largest U.S. mortgage finance company.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 35-year-old Rajendrasinh Makwana, of Glen Allen, Va., is scheduled for arraignment Friday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on one count of computer intrusion.”
Good God, Glen Allen is right in my part of town (5-10 mins from our house), and where most of my high school rivals were!
Imagine if the USDJ didn’t catch this; it would’ve made an already bad situation, a catastrophe!
A government plant maybe?
Another damn foreign contractor. He gets fired for hacking a script which gives him unauthorized access to servers which he uses to change user privileges. Why didn’t they confiscate his laptop or cut off his access immediately? WTF.
this would have caused some serious chaos
Probably one of Bawney’s butt buddies trying to ride in and save the day. “There is no crisis at Fannie Mae.” Wiiiiight Bawney……
I wonder if Frank or Obama gave the order to destroy the evidence?
“Probably one of Bawney’s butt buddies trying to ride in and save the day. “There is no crisis at Fannie Mae.†Wiiiiight Bawney……”
I was struck, as well, by the convenience of a massive data loss at fannie to a number of Senators and their crony bureaucrats at the two Fs.
Exactly, I too am smelling a conspiracy here.
The Feds better go through this guys finance’s with a fine toothed comb.
Follow the Money, Baby.
