  I think it’s the description that’s confusing. These hackers are getting in and writing their own prescriptions from the way it sounds. They then fill these prescriptions at regular pharmacies, or sell the prescriptions for a buyer to then get filled.

  Can’t read the whole article though without signing up, so maybe it’s something different.

  Pain clinics hire doctors. These doctors order drugs. Some of these clinics are legit, and some are pill mills working with organized crime.
