Starting to look like a pattern, this is several major companies getting ransomed in the last month. Probably organized crime. Ransoming a hospital is especially egregious, so I hope the perpetrators are caught.

Oh yeah, definitely that big bad organized crime. Evil people just being evil because they are evil, probably cackling right now, too.
Or maybe it's a moderately-skilled person in an underdeveloped country, who, despite being moderately skilled, has no legitimate opportunities. Maybe the person responsible even has mixed feelings about it. Who knows?
That poor US hospital, I'm sure it is a bastion of fairness and equality for all. I'm sure this wasn't facilitated by their own greed and negligence.
Save your pearl clutching for nextdoor. Here we like to understand the factors that lead to a particular outcome, rather than moralizing hysteria.

Hysteria? Pearl clutching? What are you talking about? Get a grip.
When hospitals can’t access their information, people die. Some crimes are victimless; this isn’t. Actual innocent people are going to be harmed. Good grief. Get your priorities straight and stop trying to start flame wars.
