Prescription Drugs Hacker

Hacker Wants $10M Ransom for Stolen Virginia Private Patient Data...

...or the Hacker will probably sell the hacked datas to some drug dealers. Or some chemist experimenting on creating newer types of illegal drugs.

On April 30th, an unidentified individual, or group, hacked into the Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program's Website, WikiLeaks first reported Sunday. A full week after the hack occurred, the perpetrator is still holding hostage the private data of over 8 million Virginia patients.

The party responsible for this security breach didn't hack into the prescription-drug-abuse-tracking site for fun, either. The hacker, or hackers, posted a ransom note on the Website that, according to WikiLeaks, read:

"I have your [expletive]! In *my* possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions. Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :(For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password."

I heard Vicoden and Ritalin were some of the datas that was hacked and could make fortunes by selling the patient's information. Maybe there are millions of kids that are not gonna get their balance medications this year. Would that even effect it.

I must say these stuff can kill more than weed does. Like what happened to Heath Ledger. I ain't sayin' he was an addict either, just sayin' that they can kill. Weed usually kills by negligence, like alcohol does by the result of drinking and driving.


7 Highly Addictive Prescription Drugs:


1. Vicodin - This opiate-based painkiller is abused in order to obtain its euphoric effects. The drug carries strong withdrawal symptoms however, which leads to a Vicodin addiction for thousands of people every day.


2. OxyContin - Also known as the "Hillbilly Heroin", OxyContin is a time-release prescription painkiller that produces intense euphoria when crushed and snorted or injected. Misuse of OxyContin in this manner has led to many overdose cases across the country.


3. Demerol - Another addictive opiod drug that inhibits the part of the brain that controls pain and produces feeling of euphoria among users. Can also bring about serious withdrawal symptoms including depression, chills, fever, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.


4. Percocet - One of the first notorious prescription drugs used for its euphoric effects instead of its intended use as a painkiller. Percocet is highly addictive and has been linked to heart failure in many individuals who have taken excessive amounts of the drug over a prolonged period of time.


5. Darvocet - Another opiod originally created to help individuals suffering from pain following injury or surgery. Because of the presence of acetaminophen in Darvocet, those who take the drug for an extended period of time can develop disorders of the liver.


6. Ritalin - Can cause increases or decreases in blood pressure as well as psychotic episodes. Prescribed to help children with Attention Deficit Disorder, the drug has been used as a substitute for cocaine.


7. Amphetamines - These drugs produce euphoric effects similar to those found during cocaine use. The individual experiences a "rush" for a limited amount of time, generally followed by periods of exhaustion, anxiety and depression. It is the strong need to avoid these adverse effects of the amphetamines that lead individuals into addiction. These drugs are commonly used by truckers, students or other individuals who need to stay awake for long periods of time.
