Ex-Roadrunner Wireless Engineer Allegedly Hacked His Former Employer – Even After Arrest
Telecommunications // New Mexico, United States
Gordon Logan is accused of hacking into the servers at Roadrunner Wireless Internet Service, where he worked for 16 years.
A current employee tipped off authorities to some strange activity on the company’s server. Investigators then found Logan had hacked the service provider and changed passwords.
Logan also allegedly changed the Roadrunner customer service phone number to ring him directly.
He was arrested early last month and posted bond, but he apparently had not finished his business.
“The suspect did continue, even after being charged, to represent himself as a representative of the company,” Rio Rancho police Capt. Paul Rogers said. “He was walking into businesses without being challenged about why he was there, or what he was doing.”
Logan allegedly planted a scrambler device on a Roadrunner-owned antenna that slowed Internet signals for subscribers.
Logan said he never hacked any of Roadrunner’s systems.
He said that he believes the people running the company now are not equipped to do so.
“They don’t know anything about the network,” Logan said “These guys are not qualified to run the network.”
