I don't really have any answers. I don't think cryptocurrency really makes the 'ransomware storm' possible. Maybe it makes it easier or easier to get away with the cash. I do know that I work at a company with very tight controls on what we can and can't do with our computers. But we're free to install Chrome extensions as we please. Which doesn't strike me as a great idea, but maybe that's not really even the problem. A lot of what I see in big corp environments comes down to finger pointing. I'm on a weeks old thread this very day where different groups are saying 'this isnt X's fault it's Y's fault' and it is going nowhere. At the end of the day we need to stop assigning blame and work together to fix problems. But that means we have to be able to actually admit 'maybe this system isnt as fool proof as we thought' which, of course, opens the company up to legal liability. It's a tough and complex problem, I think. Because no one wants to 'admit fault' for fear of being sued, but not admitting fault ends up obscuring root cause. And round and round we go.
