Y do you think thats NOT the case? Is it a Chernobyl type situation or is there something else I'm missing (lack of technical literacy or refusal to hire appropos consultantz in the public interest?)

Hospitals have been attacked and lives have been at risk (or people died, pretty sure there are articles on this) - paying a ransom could be okayish in this case.
In that case, hospitals would become the only profitable targets for criminals... not sure that leads where we'd like it to.
Don't you think if hospitals are carved out as an exception that the incentive structure basically gurantees hackers only really target hospitals tho?
Not really sure what Im trying to say here [blush]
I am aware of this. Come on, we are on an IT board here.
But do you really think most voters and politicians understand this? If people are dying, money is always seen as a quick solution, and who are we to blame?
