Sounds like something Shkreli would do.
Have they called Scorpion? Or CSI: Cyber? The Lone Gunmen? Maybe Neo?
Do I watch too much TV? Yes.
Either way, no way can they pay the ransom. The precedent would be disastrous.
This is why you have backups.
You do have backups, right?
What about the precedent of having terrible computer security? That seems pretty disastrous, and I doubt anything will change after this clears the news cycle.
I got one of the new chip debit cards. The places we go the most still donāt have it setup even though they have the readers to handle it. Business doesnāt care in the least if it doesnāt affect the bottom line.
We have a really neat solution in the UK. Itās the businessā problem if they accept a bad signature on my card, but mine/the bankās problem if they accept chip and pin that isnāt me.
Basically every business changed on the day the rules changed.
Me also, what a PITA. Iām on my third one. Are they Made in Britain or something?
Only if it came with fish.
Iām in the US, and I often sign as Elvis. Iāve never been questioned on it.
Actually the problem is the roll-out was shittily managed. Business does care because it does shift liability onto them, but itās literally that there is a backlog.
Why waste time with all that pointless scribbling? āXā. The Enlightened Manās signature.
And I have been questioned about it.
Itās pretty fucking shitty to attack a hospital, I hope a hilariously ironic fate befalls them.
If your card is also leaking oil then, yes, probably made in Britain
well played
The banks dragged their feet on getting the specs right, the card companies dragged their feet and now they are complaining the businesses arenāt ready? Americaā¦
I liked the part about Wally Mart being āahead of the gameā but they canāt do debit cards with the chipsā¦sort of sums up Wal-Mart to me.
Uh, isnāt there a law or two that if a death occurs while committing a felony, the death is treated as a homicide? This is a hospital, numb nuts!
In a better universe than ours the bone cancer fairy would already be on the case. As it is they probably picked a hospital for a favorable combination of high value and notoriously dreadful security(unfortunately, network-connected medical devices running antique OSes are more the rule than the exception).
