A Transportation Security Administration data analyst, the week after being notified he was about to lose his job, hacked into a government computer used to screen terrorists in an attempt to damage it, according to a federal indictment handed up last week.
A federal grand jury in Denver indicted Douglas James Duchak, 46, who pleaded not guilty. If convicted, Duchak faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of not more than $250,000 for each count.
According to the FBI, Duchak worked at the TSA's Colorado Springs, Colo., Operations Center from August 2004 through Oct. 23, 2009, updating TSA computers with information from the Terrorist Screen Database and U.S. Marshal's Service Warrant Information Network Database. TSA informed Duchak on Oct. 15 that he would lose his job on Oct. 30.
