There was a point 8 years ago when attacking hospitals was too much for ransomware practitioners.

After the Hollywood Presbyterian ransomware attack in 2016, the majority condemned it on criminal forums. One reported quote:

"from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely wish that the mothers of all ransomware distributors end up in the hospital, and that the computer responsible for the resuscitation machine gets infected with [the ransomware]"

@JoeUchill In 2016, the average ransom was less than $5k whereas it now stands at $1.5 million. That's probably changed people's ethical boundaries. So too will the US's support of Ukraine.
@brett
Like my mom always said: Never risk killing children for less than $1.25 million.
