Virginia Health Database Held For Ransom
An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post's Security Fix is reporting that hackers broke into servers at the Virginia health department that monitors prescription drug abuse and replaced the homepage with a ransom demand. The attackers claimed they had deleted the backups, and demanded $10 million for the return of prescription data on more than 8 million Virginians. Virginia isn't saying much about the attacks at the moment, except to acknowledge that they've involved the FBI, and that they've shut down e-mail and a whole mess of servers for the state department of health professionals. The Post piece credits Wikileaks as the source, which has a copy of the ransom note left behind by the attackers."
It's the doctors who are the drug pushers. Without them the public wouldn't have a fraction of the dangerous chemicals they're shoving into their faces as we speak.
Speaking of which, you might tell your own pusher to cut the crack with something other than meth. Your paranoia is starting to show.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
Are you saying you can't satirically troll someone, jackass AC?
There is a war going on for your mind.
