Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Brooklyn hospital network reverts to paper charts for weeks after cyberattack by CrankyBear

This doesn’t sound true (the part about GE). Can you elaborate and show a source?

Which part about GE? They do make medical devices. And I just used them as an example, any company that makes medical devices behaves the same way.

If you look up anything about cyberattacks on medical devices or medical device vulnerabilities there is a reason that the VA is the only American hospital system that’s vocal about it (and they have a program to address it) while all others are rather conspicuously quiet.

The part about GE being able to sue people for saying they’re insecure.
