Soul-less criminal scum cyberattack. Again

Ascension Health System. Catholic chain of hospitals. I don't suspect it was a hate crime because they are Catholic. Just despicable, criminal, scumbag behavior. My stuff was breached from records at Aloha Rehab. Hosp after surg in '21. I was granted a year of free protection. Nothing happened, that I could ever see.

  • Yeah - Just because some 15 year old anywhere in the world instructed his AI enabled smartphone to do it doesn’t make it right.
