Lawsuit: Pharmacist used spyware on UMMS computers to watch women, gain personal information

Posted on April 5, 2025April 4, 2025 by Dissent

For your reminder of the insider threat for this week, Tolly Taylor reports:

A Maryland pharmacist is accused of installing spyware on 400 computers over eight years to watch women at the hospital or in their homes, a lawsuit alleges.

Six women filed a civil lawsuit on Thursday against the University of Maryland Medical System, accusing negligence. According to the lawsuit, a pharmacist hacked hospital and home cameras and gained access to their intimate videos and credit card information. The lawsuit alleges the pharmacist spied on more than 80 men and women.

One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Cindy Morgan, told 11 News Investigates that she has never seen a case of this magnitude or scale in her decade of practicing law.

For some older and larger incidents, see this post.  Coincidentally, a larger case disclosed in 2013 involved a doctor at Johns Hopkins in Maryland.

On a disturbing note, WBAL reports that the fired employee is reportedly currently working at another medical institution in Baltimore because no criminal charges have been filed as yet. Why the state licensing board hasn’t suspended his license as a pharmacist pending investigagtion is another question in need of an answer.
