- anthony_doan 6y agoI think the concern here is HIPPA where any PHI were leak
- slowmovintarget 6y agoThe most concerning thing in my mind is not privacy or keeping the "IP", it is active interference with the research in the form of ransomware. This would mean an attempt to stop or delay development of treatments and vaccines. That's evil.
- cscurmudgeon 6y agoI am curious where does it say that these hackers are white hat hackers releasing walled scientific information to the public for the greater good. These seem like dangerous ransomware attacks from the very little information provided.
- thelittleone 6y agoWhat if researchers in one country develop 99/100 steps of a vaccine, but are not aware that they are one step away. Foreign government has access to all that research (because it’s free) and knows how to complete the one step and does so. They treat their people and either withhold or delay or complicate the proceeds of giving to rest of the world.
