Like the article said, this is the first death that's caused by ransomware attack. However, there are plenty of deaths that can be prevented by using an RMN machine. Making RMN machines all over the world 1% more efficient by linking them up to the cloud saved many hundreds of lives so far - not having hospitals impervious to ransomware attacks cost 1 live so far, and it seemed to be by mistake. The attack ceased when they found out it was a hospital. I'd really like to hear an argument saying that we need to make all hospitals robust to ransomware attacks AND THE EQUIVALENT RISK-EVENTS, because you don't get to chose before the fact which event you need to guard against. It's very cheap to say post-fact, in the comment thread of this particular news, that management should have taken care of this and screw the cost (I'd expect HN people to be aware that competent IT services aren't dirt cheap). But do we also need to guard better against falling planes? Or storms? Or homicidal family members? Or rabid dog attacks? I'm almost tempted to put shark attacks on the list as well, because at 1 victim globally, there must have been some circumstance where a floating hospital got a patient killed by a shark.
