Wow. What a dumb idea to promote your company.
Don't sell him short. This was a sequence of dumb ideas.
- hacking a hospital without approval
- stealing patient results
- tweeting stolen patient results
- disrupt hospital communication systems.
- disrupting hospital printers and wasting their resources.
Each of those steps should have triggered a rational person to reevaluation their choices...
