Wanna play COD? Just ignore all the medical information on the clan server...

Being in Healthcare IT, and personally holding the titles of Chief Information Officer and Chief Security Officer, this one I find extremely hilarious and scary at the same time.

Hackers broke into a Radiology server and set up a Black Ops server. Now, if your typical script kiddie gamer can hack into your healthcare information, how safe do you feel?

More details here.

My personal thoughts: Someone inside the hospital probably set up the server and after realizing how many Federal laws they broke when it was discovered blamed it on "unknown hackers". Well, I like to believe that version more than the possibility that someone from outside got in.
