Dont forget, they have as mcgrew has pointed out, a responsibility and obligation to their clients to hire the professionals required and take neccesary actions based on real world threats to secure their networks, as well as any other organization, ESPECIALLY medical facilities. BTW, hackers wont stop hacking, and crackers wont stop cracking, period. Isnt ever going to stop, do wake up from your delusional dream of flowers and mockingburds in a candy ass gum drop world.

"This may serve to educate organizations with control systems about the threats and vulnerabilities that are possible, and put other “script-kiddie” type hackers on notice that they can be tracked down and prosecuted for their actions." Well said. These punks need to be made an example of. I hope they give McGraw a harsh sentence and send the message that this is real equipment these wannabe hackers are messing with and that no one appreciates stupid, little stunts like this.
