...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.
