    I used to work in social services and a suburban Philly county got attacked. I had to delay services to people with disabilities because funding couldn’t come through. These people are disgusting.

      Not saying these hackers are good in the least. But the sheer lack of basic security in a lot of hospitals and health services is enough to piss you off. Maybe THIS incident will encourage them to make some improvements.

        I feel bad for the poor nerd who draws the short straw and has to teach a class of doctors basic IT security practices. Going to have to rent out a football stadium in order to make room for their egos.
