California hospital network being held for ransom
#8
Dunno- hospitals might be "the man." After all they were charged with keeping their patients' private info secure and they seem to have failed miserably.

Maybe.

It's certainly a failure, no denying.

I wonder- is it because they didn't take HIPPA or security seriously, or because the low-life hackers were that much better.

"...likely meaning a hospital staffer clicked a malicious link or attachment that ultimately spread the malware throughout the network."

Even if that's exactly what happened, I don't see how it makes them "the Man", not because of the actions of one careless employee.

Now, if their admin password was 1234, Password, or Hooray, then maybe so.
