[No mention of the number of records breached] http://7thspace.com/headlines/395469/atlanta_man_pleads_guilty_to_federal_computer_hacking_charges.html ...According to United States Attorney Yates, the charges, and other information presented in court: McNEAL worked as an information technology specialist for “A.P.A .,” a perinatal medical practice in Atlanta. McNEAL separated from employment with AP.A. in November 2009, and subsequently joined a competing perinatal medical practice, which was located in the same building as AP.A. In April 2010, MCNEAL used his home computer to hack into AP.A.’s patient database without authorization. MCNEAL downloaded the names, telephone numbers, and addresses of AP.A.’s patients, and then “wiped” AP.A.’s database, deleting all the patient information from AP.A.’s system. McNEAL subsequently used the patient names and contact information to facilitate a direct-mail marketing campaign for the benefit of his new employer. There is no evidence that McNEAL downloaded or misused specific patient medical information. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () datalossdb org) Archived at http://seclists.org/dataloss/ Unsubscribe at http://datalossdb.org/mailing_list Learn encryption strategies that manage risk and shore up compliance.
