UBS 'logic bomber' gets eight years in jail

A former UBS administrator was sentenced to 97 months in jail on Wednesday for detonating a so-called "logic bomb" virus in the computer network at the Swiss bank in 2002, seeking vengeance and profits after his bonus fell below his expectations.

Roger Duronio deployed a kind of computer virus known as a "logic bomb", a program that deletes files on a server even during power outages or system reboots.
