Health Care Data Breach Costs BreachForums Admin 0,000 Fine

Ex-administrator of cybercrime forum Breachforums, Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, has agreed to forfeit $700,000 in a civil lawsuit related to a healthcare data breach.

Fitzpatrick, also facing additional criminal charges, is set for resentencing in June. His initial lenient sentence was overturned because it did not highlight the severity of his offences.
