Possible outcomes from most to least likely: * Non-tech industry belatedly starts prioritising cyber security; security gradually gets better while costs increase and infosec consultants enjoy a Y2K-style boom. * Tech-competent startups outcompete non-tech industries through avoiding ransom costs. * The international internet degrades into mostly-closed national networks with end-to-end government control and monitoring. * The US government starts treating these attacks as national security threats and goes all War on Terror, probably triggered by a hit on critical infrastructure that costs lives. Heinous collateral damage.
