Looking past your contrarianism you will see how how all these people, and you and I, are effected. Do you know how the theft of patient information, including social security numbers, allows for the creation of false identities, leading to financial fraud and false prescriptions? Care facilities are hacked and then held for ransom to restore the data? Hacking medical records can lead to fines for HIPAA violations in the millions of dollars, along with the time and expense trying to respond. And the money to pay the fines comes from increased costs of health care and insurance premiums.
Hacking, identity theft, ransomware have gone beyond cute little nerdy activities.
