Found this WikiLeaks email, Hacker Can Send Fatal Dose to Hospital Drug Pumps in the 'Hacking Team Archives' and my first thought was of Seth Rich dying in the hospital. And then you wonder how many have died this way.

When security researcher Billy Rios reported earlier this year that he’d found vulnerabilities
in a popular drug infusion pump that would allow a hacker to raise the
dosage limit on medication delivered to patients, there was little cause
for concern.
Now Rios says he’s found the more serious vulnerabilities in several models of pumps made by the same manufacturer, which would allow a hacker to surreptitiously and remotely change the amount of drugs administered to a patient.
“This is the first time we know we can change the dosage,” Rios told WIRED.
The vulnerabilities are known to affect at least five models of drug
infusion pumps made by Hospira—an Illinois firm with more than 400,000
intravenous drug pumps installed in hospitals around the world.
The vulnerable models include the company’s standard PCA LifeCare
pumps; its PCA3 LifeCare and PCA5 LifeCare pumps; its Symbiq line of
pumps, which Hospira stopped selling in 2013 due to concerns raised by the FDA over other quality and safety issues with the pumps; and its Plum A+ model of pumps. Hospira has at least 325,000 of the latter model alone installed in hospitals worldwide.
These are the systems that Rios knows are vulnerable because he’s
tested them. But he suspects that the company’s Plum A+3 and its
Sapphire and SapphirePlus models are equally vulnerable too.
Hospira did not respond to a request for comment.

Nice find. Seth rich is still not PG related though.

If he leaked the Podesta emails to Wikileaks, he's WHY WE KNOW about PIZZAGATE.

They were phished as verified wikileaks emails prove. If he knew about PG and only gave us coded emails hes the worst leaker ever. He was a butthurt Bernie bro socialist jew and his death means little to me.

Why would Seth Rich have maintained/established access writes of any sort to Podesta's email account without having used phishing tactics?
This would more likely than not be the case if there was double-factor authentication (such as through a VPN server for the DNC).

Wtf are you talking about. I assume that everyone else assumes that he got access due to his DNC job. Anyone could have phished them.
You shouldnt want him to be the Podesta leaker; he didnt expose PG. You can fantasize about him assuming someone would notice the pizza codewords and being a martyr, but thats pretty gay, and supremely unlikely given Richs known loyalty to the foreign state running PG.

I 100% agree with you in terms of the martyrdom aspect. In my opinion - in a world where Seth was in fact the leaker then he had no clue the extent to which the emails would go on to detail PG. Along that same line of thinking tho is that if he was the leaker how the fuck would he have any time to do subsequent investigation on any of this when he had to spend all his time avoiding the Clinton death squad (for lack of a better term).
My other point holds consistent tho but I do understand your train of thought too. My thoughts are that a staffer would not have had direct access to Podesta's emails simply for working in the DNC in the capacity he was in. I'd assume only Podesta's and his top staff (maybe solely his secretary) would typically have access.
