Creeva’s World 2.0

Excerpt:

“The evi­dence pro­duced at trial showed that he deleted patient data of clients of the North County Health Ser­vices Clinic. The data was stored at the place he was work­ing at the time, the Coun­cil of Com­mu­nity Health Clin­ics (”CCC”), which is located in San Diego, Cal­i­for­nia. His actions resulted in finan­cial losses to his employer, the North County Health Ser­vices Clinic, and other clin­ics as well. He also caused the patients to suf­fer loss of care.”

Fom read­ing the full arti­cle the term hack­ing should not be used in the con­text used. Since he worked there as an IT per­son it seemed it gained unau­tho­rized access to cer­tain data­bases– which would would be more of a com­puter tam­per­ing charge. Pos­si­ble a charge because access­ing per­sonal client data could be added in.

Since he worked there as an IT per­son — com­puter tres­pass or any hack­ing charge could be blow­ing this out of pro­por­tion. I’m not defend­ing the guy or say­ing that he did noth­ing wrong — just a very poor use of the term “hacking”.
