These pieces of shit need to leave hospitals alone. We already had one dead connected to a ransomware attack on a hospital[1].

I hope they get caught and prosecuted.

On the Risky business podcast, they've been advocating for 'releasing the hounds'. That is, let the intelligence agencies and military cyber capabilities loose on these criminals.

This shit is enough of an impact on national security to justify this imho, even though it is 'merely' criminal activity.
