The penalty for a cyberattack that causes death, injury, or delayed important medical treatments (e.g. cancer, etc.) at hospitals or other major medical facilities should be mandatory life in prison.

Aren’t these attackers almost always outside the US, usually in Russia? And isn’t the Russian state happy to have them there as long as they attack targets in enemy countries, like the US?

If cryptocurrency had no market value (it should have negative value to reflect the cost to society), they would have no motive, because it would be nearly impossible to get paid

The fact that they are of diverse origins doesn't mean there shouldn't be severe, life-changing consequences for anyone who attempts to extort medical facilities. And they'd find ways to get paid without cryptocurrencies, just as they did *before* cryptocurrencies.
