Jeffrey Bowie, the CEO of a cybersecurity firm, was arrested for allegedly installing malware on a computer at St. Anthony Hospital, which could compromise critical patient information. Instead of safeguarding the hospital from cyber threats, investigators state he acted as a hacker. This incident highlights the growing risks associated with trust given to cybersecurity firms, raising concerns over the integrity of professionals in the industry. The case emerged after Bowie reportedly engaged in criminal acts on August 6, 2024, just months after starting leadership roles in two cybersecurity companies.
A company hiring cyber security specialists to act like hackers and find security weak spots is a common practice.
Investigators said he walked right into St. Anthony Hospital and put malicious malware on an employee's computer, potentially exposing critical patient data.
