Super Hacker lol

It’s scary when you make enemies like this.

If a company is bad enough to make someone capable of building such a system quit, then the company is the one to blame.

This is a perfect example of what happens when you actually act on the delusions of a fool.

He probably wrote that program during company hours too. Holding a grudge despite slacking off on the job?
10: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:52:48.00 ID:VjnA4zPz0
Shouldn’t the fact that the management is stupid enough not to detect something like that be the real problem?
17: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:54:08.46 ID:CsoMJ0R60
I guess the program wasn’t sophisticated enough to trigger security alerts.

It’s just a timer that deletes files when the time comes. Even an amateur could write that. It’s obviously going to be discovered immediately.
19: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:55:21.80 ID:CsoMJ0R60
He should have just shifted some numbers around instead of deleting everything.
23: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:57:29.70 ID:3XElirpp0
If they don’t release his name, the damage will just keep spreading.
27: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:58:49.58 ID:HctAgsI00
Leaving without making a mess? Not this guy (literally).
29: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 17:59:07.87 ID:wPXcAPXA0
Triggering it on your resignation day is just asking to be caught. At least try to make it look like someone else did it a few months later. Put some effort into not getting caught.

My former coworker just manually deleted all the shared folders before leaving.
34: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:00:19.78 ID:uGV+YeDM0
Wouldn’t it be harder to detect if you just altered the data instead of deleting it?
35: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:00:33.03 ID:FdSAkUSd0
Revenge resignation.
36: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:01:28.67 ID:IpdSg2ts0
I don’t think many companies have a system in place that can actually prevent internal sabotage by a departing employee.
41: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:04:45.67 ID:cNWIhdTN0
Honestly, I wouldn’t want to work at a company that gets hit by something like this either lol.
42: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:04:53.61 ID:DGg1vRGE0
I can’t believe someone actually does this. He sounds like a fan of those “Isekai banishment” stories.
44: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:04:59.50 ID:eQe4UGPq0
It’s not that big of a deal, is it? Just let it slide.
45: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:05:07.96 ID:er1YOeEC0
What happens to the handy tools I built for my own work that only I know how to use?
48: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:07:55.80 ID:t8gF2oQY0
So he actually acted on the delusional fantasies of an edgy nerd.
49: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:08:08.58 ID:K4Xjxesq0
Like in the US, they should just escort you out of the office the moment your resignation is decided.
50: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:08:17.00 ID:jY03A5wy0
He should have timed it to trigger during an update or a reset cycle.
52: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:08:47.81 ID:t8gF2oQY0
The damages are going to be brutal.
56: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:11:07.57 ID:NkZkl7Qp0
He probably wanted to observe the chaos while making his farewell rounds. Must have had quite a grudge.
58: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:11:58.49 ID:/HqhSLaC0
Amateur. You’re supposed to set it up so that it breaks when a coworker messes with it.
61: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:15:34.34 ID:p11PYYeA0
There are so many of those “satisfying revenge” videos on YouTube where a fired employee deletes data and the boss begs for mercy… but this is real life, guys.
64: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:18:36.03 ID:J96cOdmj0
You guys are acting like this doesn’t concern you, but white-collar workers are going to be laid off by AI from here on out.

Since your account gets deleted and you lose access, resignation day is the only time you can do it, but any company is going to have backups, so it’s just a petty nuisance. What an idiot.
72: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:22:42.68 ID:huYJVkQN0
If it were a tiny family-owned factory, maybe, but in a normal company, they have rigorous backups and access logs. It would be weirder if he *didn’t* get caught.
73: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:23:02.16 ID:E+Kolb1v0
Oh, is this the Blue LED place? They must have done something pretty heinous to be held in such deep contempt.
77: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:23:57.45 ID:MuHXSYGi0
Anything on a company computer is company property.
78: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:24:22.63 ID:sr/9cbjH0
Not that much damage, right? lol. Will it be settled for a couple million yen?
79: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/20(Sat) 18:25:12.97 ID:sr/9cbjH0
If he did it on his resignation day, they might even make him pay back his severance pay.

You’re supposed to wait more than a year after quitting before letting it slowly trigger.
