Ransomware attacks on hospitals are increasing, and I think paying the ransom is the most practical way to protect patient lives, despite the legal and ethical concerns. When a hospital's systems are locked and surgeries are delayed, every hour matters more than financial principles. I've read cases where hospitals that paid recovered data faster than those that didn't, but I'm not sure if that's always true. Should we prioritize immediate human safety over long-term cybersecurity policy?
