Re: Some good news.

OTOH a boardroom projector suddenly running a competitor's ads might be a less damaging wakeup call

Boardroom projects have very small "target audience". Think bigger.

Those LG Supersign panels with built-in digital signage in them? Some of them can be found in airports. Imagine what would happen if some fut nuck would hack into them and start spewing out messages like "I have hacked the airport. I have hacked your aeroplane. Have a safe flight".

The word "panic" would be an understatement of the year. I'll take Petya/Wannacrypt over this.
