Yeah this is why you fire people after you have changed their login credentials.

We are fully remote and require a VPN to access all resources. I literally have to do only two things for termination - disable their VPN account and initiate a remote wipe of their work computer.

There are other things, but once those two things are done, I can take my time.

Oof

Following his dismissal, Brody allegedly refused to return his work laptop and instead used his still-valid account to access the bank's computer network and cause damages estimated to be above $220,000

Also

Impersonated another cloud engineer at FRB to access the firm's network and make configuration changes

I can see this at a mid size startup or enterprise, but a bank?

2 years for 220k damage? Isn't that basically what he earns in two years, so he could pay it back in five?

i could see it as a difficult thing to get hired in the same position after burning things down when leaving.
