Nathan Howe, a 42-year-old Rutland man, pled guilty to conspiring to access a protected computer network of a Massachusetts non-profit healthcare provider.
According to The Department of Justice, Howe, and co-conspirator Patrick Edmonds-Morin, utilized their knowledge from past employment with the non-profit to carry out illegal activities affecting the organization's operations.
The unauthorized access caused disruptions to the healthcare provider's electronic medical records system, impacting patient care across several Massachusetts locations.
Howe and Edmonds-Morin's trial and prospective sentencing are ongoing, according to a justice.gov report.
