This is not by any means a new thing as far as hacking goes. I don't know the numbers but it is estimated that the wannacrypt attacks that happened about a month or so ago likely killed people as well. The UK health care was hit particularly hard. When you have people in critical condition who depend on some of those machines to survive and all of a sudden those devices are locked with encryption well, you see how it happens.

My understanding is that they did but unintentionally/inadvertently. None of this is new.
