Conor LaHiff will plead guilty to one count of unauthorized damage to protected computers, according to the office of Acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy.
Prosecutors allege that after LaHiff was fired from his position as a desktop and network manager at an Essex County public high school in June 2023, he used his administrative privileges to deactivate and delete thousands of Apple IDs from the school's Apple School Manager account, used to manage student, faculty, and staff information technology resources.
A charge of unauthorized damage to protected computers can result in a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. LaHiff will appear in federal court in Boston on a future date, according to Levy's office.
