Gotta paraphrase RiskyBiz on this one; release the hounds. This kind of attack should be treated with the same severity as if you went and drove a truck through the hospital's main transformers IRL; if you ransomware a hospital, you should be seriously concerned about ordnance coming through your front window

Any cyber warfare should be.

It's one thing to snoop around some corporate website looking for bugs to extort. That's a crime. You shouldn't do it, if you get caught you should get a knock on your door from a police officer. They want to start by asking some questions.

It's a completely different thing to use those tactics on state infrastructure. That should be seen as an act of war. Your front door should be forcibly beaten down with a battering ram.

looking for bugs to extort

Looking for bugs to responsibly disclose, ideally through a bug bounty program

I'm not generally one who thinks digital shenanigans deserves a kenetic response, but these sorts of callous assholes definitely deserve a taste of freedom delivered straight to their door.

It's not "digital" when it literally kills people.

I’m happy to make an exception for someone attacking a children’s hospital.
