Apparently some people haven't been following the debates around the introduction of that law very closely.
Less than stellar computer security at some of these organisations was one of the major concerns, and this incident shows that these warnings are clearly justified.
I would have thought my point to be glaringly obvious.
Perhaps rather than for being off-topic my comment may have been flagged because some don't like to hear "told you so" right in the middle of an incident that affects many people in quite dramatic ways (operations cancelled) and I can understand that. So I apologise for the insensitivity.
