A social scientist who has studied industrial sabotage might be able to correct me if I’m wrong: But I have read one (1) book on the subject—which frankly is one more then most—and I don’t think there is any evidence of correlation between industrial saboteurs and sociopathy. In fact, quite the contrary, saboteurs often go to quite a length to prevent people being physically harmed in the sabotage. A saboteur is more often then not mostly frustrated at their employer, or the industry, and try to maximize harm to those entities, not innocent bystanders. However given that saboteurs are often quite angry and have often been in a prolonged state of stress, and most often act alone—keeping their plans secret until they are executed—they are often not in the best position to correctly estimate who will receive the most harm. In our industry there are plenty of frustrated workers, some are underpaid, others are overworked, some work for entities they morally object to, etc. When a colleague engages in this kind of sabotage which causes disruption on some scale we might see it as an act of solidarity from a shared frustration. This is certainly the case in other industries, and I don’t think tech is any different. In fact this incident reviles that our industry might even be more vulnerable to industrial sabotage then other industries.
