The hackers are bottom feeding pieces of shit, no ransom ever

One thing we can be sure of, OHIP will not lose your credit card data to hackers. :thinking: Privatising health care is an obscene waste of money and morality. It’s what you use when you want to illustrate why conflicts of interest are bad.
