Ransomware is now potentially causing death

For the first time since ransomware has taken hold, it is being reported that it can possibly be linked to a critically ill patient who had to be shipped 19 miles to the nearest hospital.

We know that hospitals lack basic security measures and its not all their fault. But if this is a sign that things should and must change, than I invite you to read Ransomware may have led to the death of a German hospital patient from Engadget. I hope this is the first and last time that this ever happens. Hopefully the actors get caught for that crap.
