00:00JAIMIE THIS IS INCREDIBLE. WHO EXACTLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, AND WHAT IS MERCK HADA DOING ABOUT IT? > > THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEHIND IT DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS AN INTERNATIONAL HACKER COLLECTIVE, AND THEY SAY ONE OF THE REASONS THEY DID THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SHOW HOW EASY IT IS TO BREAK INTO THESE SYSTEMS, THE PERVASIVENESS OF SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS, AND ALSO HIGHLIGHTING THE INTRUSIONS THAT GO ON IN A LOT OF THESE PLACES. SOME OF THE CAMERAS THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO OUR INSIDE HOSPITALS. THEY WERE ABLE TO SEEK PEOPLE, EMPLOYEES PINNING A MAN TO A BED. THEY WERE ABLE TO WATCH POLICE STATIONS AND SEE PEOPLE GET INTERROGATED. THEY DID IT SO EASILY, TOO. THEY FOUND THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT, THE CREDENTIALS, THE USER AND PASSWORDS, PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ONLINE, AND BEING ABLE TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT IS POSSIBLE WITH THEIR DATA. IT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE SCRAMBLING TO TRY TO ADDRESS RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE BASICALLY SAID THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN ALL THE INTERNAL ADMIN ACCOUNTS. THEY ARE LAUNCHING AN INVESTIGATION TO ADDRESS THE SIZE AND THE SCOPE OF THE HACK, AND THEY HAVE SET UP A SUPPORT LINE TO SORT OF TALK TO CUSTOMERS AND WALK THEM THROUGH WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO TO ADDRESS IT.

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THOSE DETAILS, WHICH MAY NOT BE CRITICAL TO THEM BUT ARE CRITICAL FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
