NEW:

Yesterday, the USAO in Maryland issued a press release stating that Matthew Bathula, a clinical pharmacy specialist, had been charged with unauthorized access and ID theft involving patients at "Company A" -- a medical system in Maryland. 195 patients have been notified.

If you read the DOJ presser, it alleges a lot of activities that go waaaay beyond the usual insider "snooping."

A little digging revealed that "Company A" is the University of Maryland Medical Center, where Bathula was employed during the years of alleged wrongdoing.

Tax documents for school employees potentially stolen across Los Angeles County:

At least two districts seem to have reported that employees discovered false tax returns had been filed, but the districts haven't been named, so DataBreaches started looking and may have identified one (then again, it may not be one of them!).

Now this is tricky.

A friend got an email about changes to Paypal T&Cs.
The thing is she has never used Paypal.

The name on the PayPal account is someone she knows who may or may not be the person who's set up the account.
So far so bad.

I'm honoured to be the lucky person she's asked to help sort this out but I think I'm out of my depth.
