"I went through every line of code"
On all mashines? Within a few hours?!? On mashines with proprietary software?
I somehow doubt that.
It would be easier to just disconnect them and reinstall the original software, since those kind of mashines are built to work independantly.
If they were never connected to the network, its impossible to install malware anyway.
I am wondering how someone that good never realized, that the backups were encrypted though.
Since you are supposed to keep external backups on tape they can only be encrypted while they are written.
Monthly and yearly backups should be checked, since even without malware, they sometimes don't work properly. (We usually have at least one defect backup per year)
However, as far as IT-representations in TV go, this was a decent one and the Lia-Focus did good. Very happy they didn't continue with the SJW-bullshit (which is why i pushed the viewing of this episode)
Also: Can someone tell me where I can get a backup system that fast? :)
Love the Episode in general though, well except for the scene where Olivia says she doesn't want to be a doctor. Physicians are in way lower supply than demand, primarily because it is quite expansive to train them.
Someone who doesn't want to be one shouldn't take up those resources in the first place.
Why does every medical show have an episode like this? It's so repetitive and predictable
Also, whoever designed the server room has never seen a photo of a server room, let alone go into one.
This episode was worse than the worst episode of Scorpion
A bunch of bullshit moral drama and high horses dragging down the episode... again.
As someone who works in IT, it's really disappointing to see a show that is based on realism, fail so miserably.
There are multiple issues all over the episode. For one, a ransomware attack is IMPOSSIBLE to decrypt. It has never been done in the history of the internet. Multi-Million dollars have been hacked, and they all paid. It's would take millions of years, so when Lea says "I can decrypt it" alone, it just frustrates me. And also, how does a offline system even get hacked?!
Lea also claims to be an "expert", but hasn't done a single backup. Backups are always stored externally and offline, they would just lose the data between the last backup and the attack. They wouldn't loose any of the software for the Machines Lea mentioned.
The goal of a ransomware attack is to threaten to release sensitive user data. Since the server has already been hacked, they already have access to everything. Even IF Lea managed to remove the ransomware, the hackers could still publish the sensitive information, making the removal pointless.
Ubisoft, Samsung and Nvidia were all victims of ransomware attacks, and guess what, they all paid. These companies have more expertise than Lea doing everything by herself.
Sorry for the rant. It doesn't bother me in movies, because the reality is just boring, but this episode doesn't belong in the "good doctor", especially since the whole IT sections
were Inaccurate
Oof, so many people on a very high horse in this season.
So happy they removed that character
What's Harvey Dent aka Two face doing here? :joy:
Awesome episode. Really enjoyed it. :thumbsup_tone2:

"I don't want to be important or successful. I just want to be myself."
I can totally relate to that, even many people can't seem to understand that.
