BACKGROUND. . Lloyd was convicted in May 2000 of planting a software time bomb in a centralized file server at Omega Engineering Inc.'s Bridgeport, New Jersey, manufacturing plant. in January 1998, he admitted using passwords and codes stolen from Citibank According to the government, Lloyd's behavior raised concerns with a number of Omega's managers, in particular Ferguson, who decided in late June 1996 that it was time to fire Lloyd. Simpson told the trial judge that over the weekend in the midst of deliberations she saw a television report discussing a computer virus called the "Love Bug." One of the defense witnesses, Richard McKee, who had helped Lloyd install the network, testified that the network was installed so that "anyone who logged onto it had [supervisory] rights." from the internet entirely. For more accounts of notorious hacks, see the Discovery Channel's "Hackers Hall App. 949 F.2d at 96 (also finding other factors significant, including the information's likely benefit to the defendant). The government contends on appeal that the District Court abused its discretion in granting the defendant's motion for a new trial based on Simpson's testimony about her subjective reaction to extraneous information and that the court's inquiry into her subjective reaction violated Rule 606(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence. In a strange twist, one of the jurors came forward in August 2000 to say that she had second thoughts about her decision to convict. In the Tim Lloyd logic bomb attack on Omega Engineering, what type of vulnerability was the existence of the user, "12345," an example of? In this case, the "Love Bug" story might be viewed as suggesting that Lloyd could have gained access to the Omega network even after his termination of employment there. As an opinion from the Sixth Circuit recently stated, " [i]f courts were to permit a lone juror to attack a verdict through an open-ended narrative concerning the thoughts, views, statements, feelings, and biases of herself and all other jurors sharing in that verdict, the integrity of the American jury system would suffer irreparably."

In discussing the "Love Bug" story in the District Court, the prosecutor accurately pointed out that "we are talking about a virus, we are not talking about a time bomb. The Omega Engineering Logic Bomb An example of a logic bomb that was actually triggered and caused damage is one that programmer Tim Lloyd was convicted of using on his former employer, Omega Engineering Corporation. William H. Walls, the judge who presided over the case, told Lloyd, "What you did not only affected the company but the people who worked there. Virgin Islands v. Dowling, 814 F.2d 134, 138 (3d Cir. See 3 F.3d at 713 (also finding relevant the fact that the "information was precisely the type specifically excluded by the district court during trial").

AOL's servers had served as a conduit for the virus, which was contained in a The government argued at trial that the demotion, along with the substandard performance review and raise, indicated to Lloyd that he would soon be fired, thus providing him with the motive to sabotage Omega's computer system. Concerned that Lloyd had too much control over Omega's network and that his termination would leave no one at Omega with access to the network, Ferguson testified that he asked Lloyd to give access to the file server to himself, Al DiFrancesco in Human Resources, and another employee, William Wall. at 921.
