      What's wrong?<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.networkworld.com/article/3073495/security/kansas-heart-hospital-hit-with-ransomware-paid-but-attackers-demanded-2nd-ransom.html">http://www.networkworld.com/article/3073495/security/kansas-heart-hospital-hit-with-ransomware-paid-but-attackers-demanded-2nd-ransom.html</a><br>
      <br>
      "Yes, the hospital paid the ransom. No, the hackers didn’t decrypt
      the files—at least it was described as not returning “full access
      to the files.” Instead, the attackers asked for another ransom."<br>
      <br>
      That's what's wrong.<br>
