Hey there, when a hospital gets hit by a ransomware attack, what happens next?

Like, what does the hospital staff actually do?

We are bringing you something different this week.

It's an episode from another podcast I really like.

It's called Click Here, and they cover the edges of the internet.

Hackers, disinformation campaigns, weird corners of AI, and cybercrime.

And in this episode, they take us inside a rural hospital in the hours and days

and weeks after the hospital learns it's been hacked by a

And John's wife was already piecing together what had gone wrong from his side of the conversation.
