It says they "did not directly make a payment to the hackers". You can't just take 10mil and convert it to bitcoin. My best guess is that a 3rd party made the payment and garmin will be reimbursing
- NotSammyHagar 6y agosaying they did not directly make a payment makes it certain someone paid.
- usrusr 6y agoThey might have paid one of those ransomware subcontractors who claim to solve the problem on a technical level while they actually just pass on the money they are paid after taking a cut. This could have happened both knowingly (on Garmin's side) and not.
