*On 2 October 2003 Yung-Hsun Lin, also known as Andy Lin, changed code on a server at [[Medco Health Solutions]] Inc.'s [[Fair Lawn, New Jersey]] headquarters, where he was employed as a Unix administrator, creating a logic bomb set to go off on his birthday in 2004. It failed to work due to a programming error, so Lin corrected the error and reset it to go off on his next birthday, but it was discovered and disabled by a Medco computer systems administrator a few months before the trigger date. Lin pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 months in jail in a federal prison in addition to $81,200 in [[restitution]]. The charges held a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of US$250,000.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,137479/article.html | title = Unix Admin Pleads Guilty to Planting Logic Bomb | access-date = 22 September 2007 | work = PC World | author = Vijayan, Jaikumar | archive-date = 28 October 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071028154112/http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,137479/article.html | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/09/1328251&from=rss | title = 2.5 Years in Jail for Planting 'Logic Bomb' | work = Slashdot | date = 9 January 2008 }}</ref>
