This is different, though. Freezing their bank accounts makes it impossible to pay and thus gives the victim a plausible excuse not to pay.

- IshKebab 7y agoRight, in the same way that making it illegal for cities to pay would. Probably wouldn't stop normal people paying but they don't have $400k of data to steal. So I'd say it's exactly the same.
- afiori 7y agoIt is not the same as the city essentially is put in the situation were they need to choose between losing data and paying both a ransom and a fine (unless you want a federal agency to freeze ALL city controlled funds). If you want to stop city from paying the the law need to state that even if they get their data back they need to delete it.
