Hey man, when I was a tech 14 years ago, I accidentally failed all traffic with 500 customers on it. Technology is grand.

Repeat after me: it was necessary to patch critical zero day vulnerability that is used by ransomware strain Petya VX.

I was trying too reassign a ticket and accidentally spammed the entire IT division at my company. For 6 month I got emails related to it.
CrazyZonie
What software you were using that let's you spam a company when reassigning a ticket?

I've accidentally kicked off Office upgrade during the middle of the day. It had went out to 700 PCs by the time I stopped it.

Try, uh, accidentally restarting the production servers...

Oops covers that usually.

"Boss, didn't you get the memo? We were... uh... testing the failsafes." @Cheomesh probably.

Just think of how many issues @OP fixed that day.

My brother got suspended because he cracked his HS's network to play games with his friends. (I think it was either Doom or Quake.)

IP range wasnt just the school, but the whole county public school system.

@Op, one time, I took down all the terminals at a major local hospital trying to remotely reset a printer. VTAM is so much fun.

A co-worker of mine once tried to send me the message "What up, bitch?", ended up going to every PC on our university campus.
CrazyZonie
That's actually fairly common. And then there are the people who don't know when NOT TO use reply all. Service Desk can be fun those days.

Kind of, this wasn't Email, this was "Net Send" So it sent to every PC as a pop up window with that as an error message. :D
CrazyZonie
Net Send isn't good for interpersonal communications. It's best as an admin tool for alerts and stuff, so yeah... :(

My dad write a code that'd email him whenever an error occurred... but there was an error in the code to send emails..

Oh that is choice
CrazyZonie
The secret to getting out of trouble that way is to bust your butt reactivating the terminal environment and then lots of sending emails.

We've had our server for our chart program go completely down. So no summaries/results available. I think it lasted a day 1/2

I wouldn't have wanted to see what happened to who was responsible 2/2
CrazyZonie
Downtime was about 15 minutes. The difference between inactivating a printer and the entire region is adding/omitting the printer name.
IUsedToBeTheWalrus
That seems bad.
CrazyZonie
It was mostly used for patient registration back then, so not much harm. Just mostly embarrassment. (1/2)

And the following weekend, my counterpart did the same to the other hospitals in the system. (3 at the time.) (2/2)
