I was authorized to trash my employer's network, sysadmin tells court

The problem here

is if he wins, how is that going to fuck-over the rest of us Sysadmins going forward? Will we see a sea-change among employers who gradually start locking things down like they're a Fortune 100 company? No more fuzzy gray areas, no more admin-super-god access, no more special firewall rules for the Admin's computers, no more "root IS my account!" - it'll all be audit logs and constant re-authorizations for access and things locked away so tightly that only an auditor could love it. Big PITA for day-to-day work.
