What he got by doing this?
Now got jail and future employers will not take him and bought disrepute to crores of indian software professionals.
well Singapore has better jail life. he will enjoy there.
Only vms? I think they will be restored in no-time, if they really have good system admins.
Not sure, arriving at 5.6crs loss. Just like man power hours calculated in IT for fun, this must be another fun fact
Great! Before leaving hos job, he has taken "cleaning up your desk" to a whole new level!
What is the meaning of nagaraju. Many known south indians brothers have this name.
Also, is it first name or last name(Sir name)
All people with this name symbolize unlimited energy. Therefore, these natives have immense energy to carry out any job. They have a thoughtful nature.
1) Backup. If they were self-hosted they should have them, if hosted on cloud by third party, they will have backups
2) What kind of company doesn't revoke admin authorization after letting go of an employee? In that case, it's their mistake. He didn't actually hack - if he was talented enough to hack servers, they wouldn't have let him go 😂 Non-technical writers often misuse the word "hack" in such articles
Here is more details from article. He continued to hack company servers continuously over extended period which led to police complaint. What is this grudge even after getting new job? . This person is psycho.

After being fired by the company, Kandula had no other job in Singapore and he returned to India. Later, he used his laptop to gain unauthorised access to the system using administrator login credentials. He repeated the same process for six times between January 16 and January 17 in 2023 to wipe off company's server data.
Later he found a new job in Singapore and returned to the country. However, he continued to access the company system and deleting crucial data. After three months, NCS team initiated an inquiry in the matter and a complain was registered with Singapore police.
On a separate note, Indian news portals got immense happiness in mentioning nationality of the employee while rest of the world focused on the 'news' part.
