Sysadmin who has access to all parts of this office’s IT systems decides to play an April Fool’s joke that’s, well, a little too good, reports a pilot fish on the scene.

“We have a very good salesman who the sysadmin decided to put on the Secret Service’s most-wanted list,” says fish. “So the sysadmin made up a page that was a clone of the real Secret Service page that Google provides when you search for the Secret Service.”

The sysadmin also makes up a clone page based on one of the people on the actual most-wanted list, but changes the photo and particulars to match those of the salesman.

And to make it all work, the sysadmin goes into the DNS server and remaps the IP address of the Secret Service’s domain to the sysadmin’s website with the modified pages. That way, when anyone in the office clicks on the link from Google, they’ll end up at the sysadmin’s pages.
