From Cybersecurity COO to Cyber Villain: A Twisted Tale of Hacks, Tweets, and Hospital Intrigue

In a real-life plot twist, ex-COO Vikas Singla, flipped the script, hacking hospitals and boosting his own business. From disrupting services to stealing data, Singla made a mockery of cybersecurity all while tweeting his misdeeds. His “Hospital Hacking for Business Boost” plot proved costly though, with a hefty fine and possible home detention.

Hot Take:

Well, here's a plot twist that even M. Night Shyamalan would appreciate. A former cybersecurity COO turns into a cyber villain and hacks into hospitals to generate business for his own company. Vikas Singla didn't just cross the line, he pole-vaulted over it and landed smack in the middle of "What were you thinking?" territory. And his choice of a ransom note? Printing "WE OWN YOU" on hundreds of hospital printers. Classic villainy, right there.
