      The tech industry-wide lack of adequate concern about security is now at that stage that it may get people killed. https://twitter.com/robaeprice/status/863052554996940800 …

          No. Why was Windows 7 so insecure? Microsoft is still printing money. It sold this operating system—made $ billions.https://twitter.com/ianbetteridge/status/863055192975167488 …

          I don't think that's tech industry wide at all. Haven't tested the ransomware yet, but judging by the screenshots it's hitting Win7 1/2

          It is. Outside pressure on the development process guarantees that security gets short changed to meet schedules.

          How can all of tech be blamed when critical users like hospitals won't allow software updates (i.e. security patches)?

          Why is the whole thing set up to fail users despite trillions made in profit by the tech industry is the better question.

          Older field; longer development cycle. Very constrained, specified use model. Limited internetworking.
