Posted By untmarkb 7 months, 3 weeks ago in Health & FitnessThis one is hard to believe, but true. According to Wikileaks and as reported by the Washington Post , On Thursday, April 30, the secure site for the Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) was replaced with a $US10M ransom demand. The PMP is used by pharmacists and others to discover prescription drug abuse. The PMP declined to comment, although when contacted, appeared to be aware of the issue, instantly referring inquiries to the director of the DHP, who is presently unavailable.
