Sometimes It Is As Simple As Have The Mayor Ask Nicely

San Francisco- The city of San Francisco is breaking a lot easier now that the City network is back under municipal control.

For a period of time last week, the City of San Francisco was in the awkward situation of being locked out of their own computer municipal network.

Accused Computer Tampering defendant Terry Childs, one of the engineers and a soon to be former city employee sits in jail in San Francisco, but up until one point he was the man with the keys to the city- literally that is.

San Francisco City Engineer Terry Childs was arrested on July 13th and stands accused of four counts of felony computer tampering.

There was one problem. The City arrested Mr. Childs before they gained control of their municipal city computer Cisco network, which controls nearly 70 percent of key vital city municipal operations.

Luckily, despite the City being locked out for over 7 days and not having access to its computers, nothing serious happened, and with no crisis occurring the city lucked out.

After being unsuccessful in trying to retake their own computer network, Mayor Gavin Newsome went to the jail, and after speaking to Mr. Childs in City lockup jail, the Mayor eventually was given the codes to the City system.
