Big discussion on this yesterday: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9489237" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9489237</a><p>From today&#x27;s link:<p><pre><code> Like other organizations, hospitals deploy firewalls, intrusion detection system software and other security products to protect their networks. </code></pre> I&#x27;d like to take the &quot;under&quot; on that. I&#x27;d bet that hospitals, like most other large organizations, are really cesspools of virus infected, spam spewing botnets.<p>I&#x27;m only exaggerating a little bit. My intuition is that there are plenty of infected Windows computers in &quot;most&quot; big organizations. Anyone have a link to anything more definitive than my random &quot;intuition&quot;?
