GA: Ex-employee sought for stolen records

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Dissent

It seems like only this morning how we were saying that “data breach” isn’t a dirty word anymore. Oh wait, it was this morning.

Here’s another case where someone either missed the memo or is so embarrassed/concern about fallout from the breach that their identity has not been disclosed in this report by Aspen Newspapers on NorthFulton.com (Georgia):

A disgruntled employee is allegedly responsible for a multitude of personnel and financial information stolen or destroyed from a medical company’s records.

According to the company’s representatives, Zachary Williams, 38, of Duluth, was their IT specialist for seven years. During that time, he was contracted with the group under his business, for which he is the only employee. The IRS contacted the victim company, telling them to withhold wages from Williams due to tax issues. Williams took the news badly and allegedly threatened his employers that, “companies that lose their data go out of business.”

As of last February, the company is locked out of their servers, which hold many of the company’s records, including employee personal information and business records and research. A few days later, they found that the physical hard drives were missing from their off-site storage. The estimated loss of those computers is almost $11,000.

Williams is wanted for theft of trade secrets and is living at an unknown location.

So why didn’t the news report name the company?
