Levii Delgado, 36, of Middletown, was sentenced to six months of home confinement and over $13,000 in restitution by the Honorable Leonard P. Stark, Chief United States District Judge for the District of Delaware. Delgado pled guilty in February 2021 to one count of causing damage to a protected computer. According to court documents, Delgado worked as an Information Technology (IT) administrator at a medical center that provides care to under-served communities. The medical center terminated Delgado’s employment in August 2017. Following that termination, Delgado was no longer authorized to access the medical center’s computer network and his credentials that had allowed him to access the medical center’s network were disabled. Four days after his termination, Delgado connected a personal laptop to the medical center’s computer network through an administrator account that Delgado continued to use without authorization. Once Delgado gained unauthorized access to the computer network, he caused the deletion of the medical center’s employee user accounts, the disabling of its computer accounts, and the deletion of its file server. Delgado’s actions prevented the medical center’s employees from logging into their computers and accessing patient files necessary to conduct operations. As a result, the medical center’s ability to see and treat its patients was impaired. No patient information was compromised or accessed as a result of Delgado’s actions.
