Former TSA Analyst Charged with Computer Tampering

A US Transport Security Administration analyst has been indicted with tampering with databases used by the TSA to identify possible terrorists who may be trying to fly in the US. Douglas James Duchak, 46, was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday with two counts of damaging protected computers. According to a federal indictment, Duchak tried to compromise computers at the TSA’s Colorado Springs Operations Center (CSOC) on 22 October 2009, seven days after he’d being given two weeks notice that he was being dismissed. He was also charged with tampering with a TSA server that contained data from the US Marshal’s Service Warrant Information Network
