A man from Michigan has been arrested and indicted in the infamous hack of UPMC where data from more than 65,000 workers was stolen.

Prosecutors say 29-year-old Justin Johnson hacked into UPMC’s Human Resources server in 2014.
He allegedly stole the names, social security numbers, addresses and salary information of every UPMC employee — more than 65,000 in all.

They say Johnson then sold that information on the dark web. Using that information, criminals filed false tax returns to the tune of $1.7 million in refunds.
