A contract Unix system administrator pleaded guilty to trying to disrupt
a data center where he was employed in Folsom, Calif., by hammering the
safety glass of an emergency power shut-off, then pushing the shut-down
button.

The case drew the attention of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in
Sacramento, Calif., because it involved an attempt to shut down a data
center of the California Independent System Operator Corp., an
electrical power consortium chartered by the state to manage the
statewide energy grid.
