Maryland Medical Malpractice Lawyer Blog
A recent class action lawsuit filed last week against a Baltimore hospital highlights the growing concerns surrounding cybersecurity and employee privacy in healthcare settings. According to a report by The Baltimore Banner, Dr. Matthew Bathula, a pharmacist at the University of Maryland Medical Center allegedly installed spyware on hospital computer systems, enabling him to access webcams and secretly watch female doctors and medical residents during intimate and private moments. These moments reportedly included undressing, pumping breast milk, and even being intimate with their partners in what they believed were secure, private settings.
