10 episode podcast

A North Korea hacking group who among other attacks, shut down all the computers in the hospitals in Britain and other worldwide computers with a ransomware attack.  Episode 10 deals with the British hospital attacks and how one young British computer expert was able to turn off the attacks.

edit - this is a non fictional podcast. I remember seeing the UK hospital computer system attack, in the news, back then

Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like an interesting series. I do remember some UK hospital ransomware attacks in the press but wasn't sure if this was it. Scary stuff.
