Bot herder pleads guilty to hospital hack
When is enough, enough?!!
Quote:
A 20-year-old Californian pleaded guilty last week to causing damage to computers in Seattle's Northwest Hospital when his bot software compromised systems in the healthcare facility.
...searching for more computers to infect, the bot software used by the group caused trouble amongst some systems at Northwest Hospital: doors to the operating room failed to open, pagers did not work, and computers in the intensive care unit were disrupted...

Sooner or later the deviants will disrupt a computer that is keeping a loved one alive. It's a shame that nothing is really accomplished until after someone dies.
