Man accused of stealing computer information

AUGUSTA - A Beech Island, S.C., man has been accused of stealing computer information from the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics. <br> <br> Police suspect David Allen Jr., 32, of using unauthorized software to access information on a computer at MCG Health System in Augusta and emailing the files to his home. <br> <br> Allen works for MCG Health, which operates the hospital and clinics and the children&#39;s medical center. <br> <br> Last week, police discovered a ``keystroke capture program&#39;&#39; on Allen&#39;s work computer that records everything typed into a computer and saves it in a particular file. Officers then found certain files had been emailed to Allen&#39;s personal account. <br> <br> Allen has not been arrested or charged with a crime. He has been suspended without pay since July 11, when the investigation began, said Deborah Humphrey, a spokeswoman for MCG Health. <br> <br> ``At no time was patient information compromised and there was no breach of patient confidentiality,&#39;&#39; Humphrey said. <br> <br> Police have sent Allen&#39;s home computer to forensics specialists at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation&#39;s Thomson office.
