The El Paso branch of the FBI last week announced the guilty plea of Ismael Alvarez, a former employee of Gray Wireline to charges of computer fraud for illegally accessing a company database and deleting several files.
...Alvarez admitted that on September 1, 2010, he illegally gained access to the computer system of Gray Wireline, Inc., and deleted approximately 68 files, including analysis reports on oil and natural gas wells in Odessa, Levelland, Denver City, and Andrews, Texas. As a result, Gray Wireline estimates that it had to spend approximately $16,000 to correct and remedy the damage caused by Alvarez.
Alvarez faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
