Do you know how much of a scumbag you have to be to attack a hospital.

It’s good to hear that soon the NHS will be capable of launching cyber attacks again.
Why isn’t a system in a hospital air-gapped? Or is there any reason why it must be connected that I don’t know?
The problem is, the growth of hospital systems has been organic and what it needs is to be ripped out and replaced with something designed for modern times.
Also hospitals in general are loath to replace any digital system that still works. That’s time that their already overworked personnel have to dedicate to learning new systems, potential new bugs and quirks that might have actual severe consequences for patients, etc.
