Hospital employees arrested for ID theft
Healthcare Security Weekly, January 16, 2006
Police arrested two employees from Kaiser Permanente's South Bay Medical Center in Los Angeles on suspicion of stealing patients' personal information, reports CBS2.com.
The charges say Pamela Moore and LaShonda McKenzie stole the information and used it to apply for credit cards, which they then used to charge thousands of dollars worth of goods.
The women work for a photocopying company that deals with the hospital's medical record requests.
The hospital sent out letters to 25,000 patients treated at the facility to warn them about the possible identity theft, though only six patients are known to be victims so far.
