In the episode, the hospital’s electronic equipment fizzled out, causing life-saving patient information and diagnostic tools to stop working while the hospital’s staff was dealing with a slew of patients. Doctors received a message on their monitors — “We own your servers. We own your systems. We own your patients’ medical records.” — demanding 4,932 bitcoin (worth $20 million when the episode taped, around $40 million as of this article’s publish date) if they wished to have their systems restored to normal.

Gomez, with 126 million followers as […]
