The Justice Department says it foiled a plot by a fired Fannie Mae contract worker to destroy all the data on the GSE's 4,000 computer servers nationwide. The worker, 35-year-old Rajendrasinh Makwana, of Glen Allen, Va., is scheduled for arraignment Friday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on one count of computer intrusion, according to a report in the Associated Press. U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said Mr. Makwana was fired in late October. The prosecutor said that on that day Mr. Makwana programmed a computer with a malicious code that was set to spread throughout Fannie's network of servers and destroy all the data by the end of January 2009. Mr. Makwana's public defender has yet to comment on the charges.
