Re: Risky strategy?

It is not a national institution in the US but I think ransomware attacks would be poorly received. This is especially true if there any patient deaths because of an attack. If this happens, the miscreants had better hope the death did not happen in a state with the death penalty. I know some countries will not extradite to states with the death penalty normally but I wonder if they would make an exception.
