An ex-First Republic Bank cloud engineer was sentenced to two years in prison for causing more than $220,000 in damage to his former employer&#x27;s computer network after allegedly using his company-issued laptop to watch pornography.<p>Miklos Daniel Brody, 38, of San Francisco, pleaded guilty in April to two charges of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act after obtaining information from and intentionally damaging a protected computer, and one charge of making false statements to a government agency.<p>In addition to spending two years behind bars, the judge ordered Brody to pay $529,266.37 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release after he&#x27;s out of jail.

Lesson learned: <i>First</i> you revoke their credentials, <i>then</i> you tell them they&#x27;re fired.
