cyber crime

A Houma man was arrested in Lafayette as part of an undercover sting targeting online predators. Authorities say Richard Charles Tujague believed he was talking to a minor but was actually chatting with an undercover agent. The investigation remains ongoing.

Information from the completed investigation has found the numbers are higher than anyone previously thought.

The hospital system says that, even though much information was stolen, medical records were not accessible to the cyber crooks.
