May I ask what happened with this?
For many companies step one would be to contact the feds, and then the former employee would awaken to the sound of their door being kicked in pursuant to a search warrant for all of their personal devices.

- rl3 8y ago>Why is this a federal crime? Anything related to damaging computer systems via way of unauthorized (or even sometimes even authorized) access can easily become a federal crime. The CFAA[0] comes to mind, see 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5)(A). Moreover, the feds are typically better equipped than local jurisdictions to handle computer-related crimes.
