Description

Five medical workers were fired for their role in a hacking effort that targeted a celebrity. A total of 14 patient records were breached between June 18 and June 24. The employees misused the Hospital's information system to access patient records for curiousity or media purposes. A volunteer also participated and was barred from working at the Hospital.
