‘Russian criminals’ behind London hospitals cyber attack

This is the most shocking piece of news the world has seen, they will write songs and stories about the shock that has effected the great masses of the world, they will describe the great shock of Russia acting like an absolute cunt again.

Colour me shocked.

The NHS and the companies it works with are for the most part woefully underprepared for these kind of attacks. It’s a problem across medicine generally in fact. Lots of legacy systems that can’t be upgraded because it’ll break vital equipment, lots of red tape, underpaying cybersecurity talent so they go elsewhere, lack of security awareness amongst staff, etc. Nothing will change until those things do.

And what are we going to do about it? Nothing, even though attacks on critical infrastructure should be classed as terrorism and acted upon accordingly.

If the ruling class wasn’t so fucking compromised by Russian money , they’d do something about it.
