No one in the UK seems to be tying this attack to the Conservative Party's desire for backdoors everywhere, which is a shame because it's a nice example for the public of how the government have got this very wrong.
Reddit is all over it although it has turned into something suitably reminiscent of Alex Jones' material. Jeremy Hunt is apparently directly responsible for running XP on all NHS equipment and pulling the plug on the support contract for post-extended-support causing the deaths of thousands of people while he rolls around in the dust of the crushed skulls of all his victims.
I would rather see it used to leverage an opinion against back doors and surveillance culture but alas this is merely administrative incompetence and failure to either upgrade or airgap systems which have had a clock ticking on them and plenty of notice from the vendor to sort. The buck should stop at the trust IT directors as this was entirely avoidable with a properly managed estate.
