Ransomware authors have no morals. Earn your money properly and stop killing actual babies just for some Rubles

  Why stop at killing babies? Why not knock out a country's food supply and have them starve? https://www.cybertalk.org/2021/09/21/blackmatter-ransomware-hits-the-us-food-supply-chain/ https://www.cybertalk.org/2021/09/21/blackmatter-ransomware-...

  At the same time, neither does the hospital in that case. I think if your infrastructure is shut down by hackers you have a moral obligation to inform your patients (or potential patients) about what's going on. They should be legally obligated to disclose this information.

    Definitely. The ransomware people caused the mess, but this looks like a case of the hospital caring more about optics than informing patients. That exacerbated what was going on and caused more harm. If I was the patient and the hospital was forced to inform me that my care might be degraded because of the hack, I'd have nope'd it out of there to another hospital.

      The mess was created by programmers who do not care about security.
