A technician working at SIA Engineering thought he found a quick way out of financial troubles, but it ended with a jail sentence instead.
The 32-year-old Indian national allegedly used his work access to steal two brand new laptops worth about S$3,400 from a server room in Changi. To avoid leaving digital traces, he reportedly tampered with the room's control box using an electrical test pen.
Things escalated when he later returned, jumped over a fence to avoid security guards, and tried to steal 16 hard disk drives before being caught red-handed. Both laptops and the hard drives were eventually recovered.
Wah, access given for work is meant to build trust, not break it. Do you think companies should tighten security even more for contractors and vendors with access to sensitive areas?
