Cybersecurity CEO Accused of Turning Hospitals into Malware Playgrounds
Veritaco CEO Jeffrey Bowie, a cybersecurity pro, allegedly flipped the script by installing malware on hospital computers, landing himself two charges under Oklahoma’s Computer Crimes Act. Let’s just say his version of “fixing bugs” involved creating them instead!
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, it seems like the CEO of a cybersecurity firm needed a little lesson in irony. Jeffrey Bowie, you might want to consider a new career path because hacking into hospital systems isn’t exactly the kind of “job security” we’re talking about in the cybersecurity world. Perhaps next time, try not to break your own company’s rules before you get caught with your digital hand in the cookie jar.
Key Points:
- Veritaco CEO Jeffrey Bowie charged with malware installation on hospital systems.
- Allegedly violated Oklahoma’s Computer Crimes Act.
- Security footage shows Bowie accessing hospital offices and computers.
- Malware designed to capture screenshots every 20 minutes.
- No patient data was accessed; the hospital quickly contained the threat.
