Overall, I like the show, but it feels all over the place.

This episode was just too stupid silly.

The tech plot in this episode is ridiculous. There is so much more than just the fact that the hospitals systems are down and data is inaccessible.

An IT Director of a major hospital isn't a high level security engineer / penetration tester likely capably of the complexities of reverse engendering malware encrypted files. They are primarily a department head and leader dealing with day to day logistics of tech along side a CIO, CTO, etc. etc.

Where is the IT team? Network Admin... Security Admin... anyone.. Why is Lea in the serer room? Because it looks cool??? She doesn't even look like she has patched into any equipment on that laptop. That room would be rather loud in real life.

I'm going to skip over dozens of other stupid things, but Lea should lose her job period. She appears to be the highest ranking IT employee for the hospital and Malware breached the hospital network for months unnoticed. There would have to be so much data forensics done to discover what PHI could have been breached.

Getting off the tech rant. So the writers thought that it would be a good idea to have a former Chief of Surgery and President of the Hospital disregard patient confidentiality. He completely disregards HIPAA and discloses PHI to the press. Wow. That is actually worse than what the guy he exposed did.

Lame.

(S4. E10) My Live Reaction / Review for The Good Doctor Season 4 Episode 10 ''Decrypt''. The previous episode was awful and I gave it a rating of 3/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. The hospital is attacked by hackers? That's interesting. This man lied about having cancer in the past? Why? It seems like Lea is pretty good at her job and she was able to fix the problem they had. One of the new residents got fired? Damn, that's some good news, I hate all the new residents, they are annoying and boring as hell. Dr. Andrews was the one who exposed that guy? I didn't see that coming. Overall this episode was good and I enjoyed it. My rating is 8/10.

Like a couple of other reviewers here, I was shocked at the casual and quick acceptance by three doctors of a lie to an organ donor in order to get an organ (despite the likability and need of one of the organ recipients). I thought that it was likely that this plot line was supposed to tie in with another, that of the supposed cancer victim whose deception led to publicity and much fund-raising for his charity. I thought perhaps the writers meant to examine how much bending of the truth was ethical in order to achieve some good. However, the comparison was never made. Most of the characters were horrified at the fake cancer victim, but the lie to the organ donor was barely dealt with. Very strange.

However, I'm not that familiar with the characters, having only seen several of the shows this season only. Did anyone think of Madison Cawthorn while watching this episode?

How did the writer made all this up? They didn't have budget to pay for an expert's consultation?

First, Lea doesn't have a cybersecurity background. She was a software developer and she likes/fixes cars. And from one day to the other she's a Ransomware expert? I'm mean to do what she did in the time she did it, she's a fu***ken genius, 10 years of experience working on the field at least. But not only that, she's also a Network expert, how many years she's been in the hospital, 10 years? BUT NOT ONLY THAT, she's also a computer forensic DIE HARD. She fixed the hard drive by herself, with no previous experience, for that job a company would charge 10,000 dollars to fix it in one day. In my country (Chile) there are 2 companies that provide this type of service, 2 in the entire country! . But, probably they thought: 'well, she fixes cars, maybe she can fix a hard drive' But that type of equipment cannot be found in a hospital! (hey boss, let's expend 10,000 dollars to fix our servers hard drive (the failure was also stupid AF) is easy to do it, any developer or car mechanic can do it!) But not only that! She works alone! This awesome hospital only has 1 IT manager/network wiz, developer, computer forensic expert, ransomware expert. But when she was hospitalized she looked more like a ticket manager (probably looking into spreadsheets) .

It' so disappointing, they could have ask on StackOverFlow or even Reddit (/Defcon for instance) for some advice on the history line.

Lying to a kind and generous woman to get her risk her life to donate her organ to a criminal is ABSOLUTELY WRONG! And the fact that the whole team even feel good about themselves after telling this lie is even more disgusting!

How can they persuade themselves that they're doing good things? Are they all a bunch of sociopaths? Don't you guys have moral standards? Especially when each and everyone in the show tends to see themselves as a saint! You people are so corrupted that you even believe that you're right and morally superior!

This show is so messed up that it keeps feeding us with this kind of crap!

Poor copy of 2 Greys Anatomy Episodes (Cyber Attack and ring transplantation) plus Lance Armstrong topic. Way too much items without any esprit.
