Max Vance, who was fired from Microsoft’s Nuance Communications over the incident, has been charged with intentionally accessing without authorization and obtaining information from a protected computer, according to the Feb. 28 story. A federal prosecutor revealed the information about the laptop during a hearing at which Mr. Vance was denied bail.
Asked for comment, Geisinger pointed Becker’s to a June 2024 statement from Chief Privacy Officer Jonathan Friesen: “Our patients’ and members’ privacy is a top priority, and we take protecting it very seriously. We continue to work closely with the authorities on this investigation, and while I am grateful that the perpetrator was caught and is now facing federal charges, I am sorry that this happened.”
