Comment on Engineer admits he wiped 456 Cisco WebEx VMs from AWS after leavingparent

Could just be very risk-averse plea-bargaining on Ramesh's part.

Yep. It may just be a fact that he ran terraform and it said to delete all VM instances, only he forgot he had his old credentials in the environment variables, and who would have ever expected them to work.

That said, the lack of details on this do leave a lot to be imagined - it’s just as easy to read this as revenge, and that large companies don’t bother to publicly shame people most of the time.
