Hmm but why target such a well known company? It's almost guaranteed that they will not pay to save face, no?

- Thorrez 5y agoDidn't Garmin pay a ransom? Which is more well known?
- pmlnr 5y agoGarmin more well known than Fuji?! In what world?!
- markdown 5y agoIn the world of GPS equipment I guess.
- dspillett 5y agoMy personal life certainly. I'm well aware of both companies, but what do Fuji do that is as recognisable to many of the general public as the watch on their wrist or the mapping device in their car? Some might own a Fuji brand camera, printer or other device, might put fujifilm brad paper in their printer, etc, but they probably aren't significantly aware of the rest of the business. I'd wager that the average person on the street is more aware of Garmin.
- dividedbyzero 5y agoSome older people will probably have Fujifilm burned into their cortex because they made a lot of very popular film types for cameras back in the day, and if you were just somewhat serious about taking photos, film type was a big deal. At least I guess that's why it feels like that to me, too, even though it's definitely no longer true.

- Thorrez 5y agoWow, you can see the big spike in Garmin interest when they got hacked in July 2020.

- shakna 5y ago> It's almost guaranteed that they will not pay to save face, no? No. Lots of big names will payout ransoms, that's why it works. [0] [0] https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/ransomware-payouts-of-2020/ https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/ransomware-payouts-of-2020/
- numpad0 5y agoCompanies these days just “contract external security consultant” for exact amount of ransom + fees aka ask the perp for a receipt for tax purposes
- gdsdfe 5y agoAhh right! I remember reading about this somewhere
