Société Générale Goat Gets IT Consulting Job

Tim Wilson writes on Dark Reading:

The man who caused one of the worst security breaches in the history of the world now has a new job: He's an IT consultant.

Jerome Kerviel is accused of breaking into computer systems to make risky trades that cost Société Générale more than $7.7 billion. Now, he's working at Lemaire Consultants & Associés, a consultancy specializing in IT network installation and security, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Kerviel started his new gig weeks ago, shortly after his release from more than a month in prison, according to his lawyer. An LCA employee confirmed Kerviel works for the firm, but declined to discuss the nature of his employment.

Just a thought...
