hah! I feel sorry for those who were caught up in this through their stay, but I feel no sympathy for any company that ties their door locks to a vulnerable, non-isolated network. I have to wonder if they considered breaking down the doors with a fire axe... if they were booked, would replacing the doors outweigh the cost of the ransom?

The ransom was 1500€, so no. Doors are pricy. You realize it would have been a contractor who installed the systems? This is a single, family-run hotel. I suspect the incompetent contractor was unable to properly fix the systems after the first request, and the hotel didn't have the experience to confirm the fix.
