I suppose that the author of this malware was prepared to accept imposing financial costs on their victims. After all, it's only money, right?
I wonder how they feel now that people have died as a result of their law-breaking.
- konad 16y agos/author of this malware/person that decided to run critical safety equipment on a network connected OS known to be vulnerable to many many viruses from many many vectors/ s/law-breaking/incompetence/ Spanair crash - Windows Malware implicated BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill - Windows BSOD implicated Incompetence and penny pinching
- gaius 16y agoShould be easy to implement an airgap firewall on a plane or an oilrig.
- keithwarren 16y agoAirplane crashes and things like deepwater horizon are caused by a series of cascading failures and in some way insinuating that it is just malware (or Windows) is goofy. Obviously someone has an agenda.
- konad 16y agoThe series of steps that allows something with such a large attack surface as a Windows network to operate as last resort air traffic safety shutdown system. It's IT Dept. incompetence. I'd go so far as to call it negligence, maybe even culpable.
