Isn’t it already a felony to attack computer systems and hold data for ransom? That doesn’t seem to be working flawlessly.

  Yes, but the affected company is the one paying the ransom. Make that a felony and suddenly their choice is to invest in security or risk having their business halted for potentially months.

    Or, pay ransoms secretly, which is of course what companies would do.
