Senoufou BS: Giant Hack of Everybody (43) RE: BS: Giant Hack of Everybody 16 May 17


I too count the UK as one country.
That means 54+28+12+5+1+100.
If it's gone up to 150, then I'm stumped!

I saw on BBC News yesterday evening that several countries gave in to the hackers' demands for money, and had their systems restored. In my view, that's utter madness. One should never give in to blackmail like that; it only gives them a sense of control and encourages them to do it again!

The BBC interviewed some patients who had had their operations cancelled. It was heartbreaking; one young woman was waiting to have her leg amputated (not as an emergency) and was actually being prepared in the operating suite when it was halted and she was sent home. Another man was awaiting an urgent prostate biopsy, which was deferred for two weeks. He could have cancer. Another woman had her chemotherapy stopped (breast cancer)

I do admire all the IT technicians working tirelessly throughout the night to get things restored. But this must not happen again.
