Guillermo Contreras reports:
A San Antonio couple who worked for the city pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge that they used stolen Social Security information to buy a boat, jewelry and several vehicles, including two motorcycles, two Cadillacs and a $43,000 Corvette.
Mary Mercy Lopez, 49, and David Edward Reyes, 48, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit identity theft. Each faces up to five years in prison when U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia sentences them in October.
The pair admitted that Lopez stole some of the Social Security numbers from patients at a Metropolitan Health District clinic on McCullough Avenue, where Lopez worked through a temp agency as an administrative assistant for a tuberculosis program, according to plea paperwork.

So… did Metropolitan Health District know about that breach? If so, when and how did they discover it? And when did it even happen?
I’ve sent MHD an inquiry and will update this post if/when I find out more.
