Or one of those people who attacks and disables, or takes over and
kills using, hospital computer systems.
Perhaps, you are aware of the existence of "ransomware" attacks?
Genius can be used for good and for evil.
To regard all genius as developing only good, and ever evil, is simply naive.
Also, importantly, the post above assumes all genius to be male.
Amongst other things, the poster above should watch the movie "Hidden
Figures", sometime.
And, the case of the school principal who used the "laptop" computers
provided to the school students by the school, to remotely activate
the webcams, to watch and record the students in their bedrooms at
home, should be remembered, and considered.
Protections are essential, at every level.
