Darknet Diaries just did an episode about how Wannacry disabled the NHS on episode 73. The episode was way more descriptive of how the attack affected functions of the hospital, but basically, there’s a lot of overhead. Suddenly, you have to check everyone in by hand, you don’t know who their normal doctor is, you can’t look up medication, ransomware might be affecting specialized computers for the medical equipment. Some hospitals were able to pivot to pen and paper and still treat patients, but the attack was basically like an accident on the freeway. It just jams everything up.
