A computer administrator upset over layoffs planted an electronic "bomb" in the systems of one of the nation's largest prescription drug management companies, according to prosecutors. If the so-called "logic bomb" had gone off at New Jersey-based Medco Health Solutions, it would have wiped out critical patient information. Even after surviving a round of layoffs, Yung-Hsun Lin kept the code in the system and tinkered with it, but the bug eventually was discovered and neutralized by the company.
