A cybersecurity executive has been arrested in connection with a data breach at an Oklahoma City hospital, KOCO reported.

Authorities charged Oklahoma cybersecurity company CEO Jeffrey Bowie with installing malware at SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital, according to the April 16 story. Court documents allege security cameras caught him roaming inside the hospital and stopping at a computer, where he installed “malware designed to take a screenshot every 20 minutes and forward the image out to an external IP address.”

The hospital told KOCO that no patient data was accessed. The news outlet could not reach Mr. Bowie for comment.
