Disgruntled Ex-IT Guy Hacks Into Hospital's System

nickburns0610.jpg After a tech guy was laid off at North General Hospital in Harlem, he got revenge the only way he knew how: hacking! 45-year-old Jason Wang was fired last September and shortly thereafter he hacked into the hospital's network, sent emails to staffers under a doctor's address (one calling a higher-up there "racist"), and according to the NY Post he also accessed patient files and test results. Wang has now been arrested and charged with computer trespass, unauthorized use of a computer and 4th degree computer tampering. What would IT guy Nick Burns do if found in this predicament!
