The ransomware attack on a poorly secured health care system is evidence of a provider's incompetence, sure. But it's also an attack on people's lives.
Someone is going to die in one of these cases, and the ransom criminals will have committed outright murder.
When enough of this kind of thing takes place, someone else is going to look for revenge.
@dangillmor Some IT person, who went to a small college, whose whole computer infrastructure was donated by #Microsoft, to continue their anti-competitive monopoly, which wasn't established with security goals in mind, will prrobably get fired for not taking unpaid time to fix their own ingrained ignorance.
The computing media hardly ever calls out Microsoft for this, as a lot of it is dependent upon Microsoft advertising money.
Who should really be paying for this?
