A fired Stradis Healthcare employee sought revenge by tampering with shipping data for desperately needed healthcare PPE.
The FBI has announced that Christopher Dobbins pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year in prison for breaching and temporarily disabling the Stradis Healthcare shipping system using a secret account, after being fired weeks earlier.
Last March, as doctors reported having to ration and reuse personal protective equipment (PPE) to treat COVID-19 patients, Georgia-based Stradis Healthcare, which packages and ships PPE and surgical kits, was eager to step up and help, according to FBI Special Agent Roderick Coffin, who investigated the matter.
