Outgoing IT Staff: Security Concerns

[Clodfobble]

Mr. Clod's response was, "Ooh... yeah. They're probably in trouble."

He noted that it really depends heavily on how your systems are set up, but this guy probably has at least a dozen extra logins to various servers, not out of malicious forethought but because they are a convenience when doing maintenance, etc. Worst-case scenario, you could go nuclear and delete every login on every machine, change the root passwords, and then rebuild all the logins from the ground up for legitimate users. But that's kind of a nightmare. He said the most important thing is to make his "post interview" (that thing where HR detains you in the office with paperwork, and asks you to give an honest appraisal of your manager, coworkers, etc., now that you have nothing to lose) last a really, really long time, and have everyone feverishly checking user lists and changing passwords while he's trapped in there.
