> It would be far from the first time a hospital was attacked. It wouldn't even by the first time it directly resulted in a death [0]

Just pointing out that this is a little misleading. The link you're referencing refers to the first ever reported hospital death related to a hospital's ransomware attack, and this article was from just a month ago (I remember, I read it on Hacker News too). But the juxtaposition of these sentences might suggest that death-by-ransomware-in-hospitals has been a common occurrence for quite some time.

It was certainly not my intent to mislead with that, I apologize if it was less than clear.
