PITTSBURGH — The district attorney’s office said a former employee at Highmark hacked into several customers’ accounts, including a school district and stole thousands of dollars.
“You put your money in and it’s up to them to safeguard your money and when that doesn’t happen and you lose its detrimental,” said Lori Hickman.
Lori Hickman of Butler County is one of eight victims in Highmark’s major data breach.
Allegheny County District Attorney’s office charged Zakayah Scott who worked remotely from South Carolina for Highmark Health.
Authorities said Scott had access to customers’ personal information including birthdays, addresses and phone numbers.
They said she called Highmark’s customer service department, claiming to be one of the victims, change their password to their health savings account, log in, then withdrew and transferred money. The amount stolen totals more than $50,000
There’s a warrant out for Scott’s arrest as she faces several serious charges.
