Marty's actions cost the hospital tens of thousands of dollars and disrupted operations for days, but no patients were directly impacted by the shutdown.

I've been in computer technology since a very young age.

My dad was a Apollo program rocket scientist, computer programmer, taught me to code on his knee when I was three years old.

I wrote my first program when I was five, sold my first program when I was 12, was a full-time engineer at a tech company at 18, working on network infrastructure and, uh, data security kinda topics.

So I was intimately familiar with, uh, network and, and data security from the other side, from the defensive side.

Before the attack, I was a data security coordinator at a Massachusetts biotech company, and I did business continuity and disaster recovery planning for health and other organizations right up through the Fortune 500.

So I knew what would and would not be a risk to human life, and my jury refused to convict me.
