Exactly!

One time I was deleting a user from our MySQL-backed RADIUS database.

DELETE * FROM PASSWORDS;

And yeah, if you don’t have a WHERE clause? It just deletes everything. About 60,000 records for a decent-sized ISP.

That afternoon really, really sucked. We had only ad-hoc backups. It was not a well-run business.

If you have civil and criminal causes of action, it’s often expedient to pursue the criminal one first, as it’s admissible as evidence in the civil case—the reverse isn’t usually true.

With the facts of the criminal case, I don’t think they would have any difficulty at all getting a legal team to go after EBay. It’s a risk/reward thing for them and the pockets they’d be going after are very deep.

“Scissor stairs” is what he called them in the video.
