A source from the Cheka-OGPU reported on a big scandal in Astrakhan, where they captured ambulance workers who were leaking information on government procurement in the healthcare system for money. And also personal data from patients’ medical records. The right companies signed lucrative contracts worth millions of rubles, and the media savored the details of the illnesses of stars, officials and other important people.

One of the first to be detained was an employee of the Astrakhan ambulance substation, Alexander Kostochkin. For more than a year, he illegally connected to the ProMed system, where he obtained the necessary information. It’s funny that the ambulance officer is an experienced computer specialist; he wisely lost all contacts with customers. The only thing they can charge him with is the transfer of access to ProMed via a VPN server. In this case, the data from the closed system also remains on the connecting service. And this is also considered an information leak. Now law enforcement officers are actively looking for other informants and, of course, are interrogating the home-grown hacker Kostochin. However, it is not surprising that the IT specialist took such risks. Already, the Astrakhan State Budgetary Institution “Center for Disaster Medicine and Emergency Medical Care,” where he worked, has a vacancy for his position. They offer from 20 to 25 thousand rubles.
