Maybe it's all automated shotgun based attacks and they don't close the holes and so the act of paying the ransom is statistically meaningless
This is shoddy journalism. Might as well just say "X%". It implies you shouldn't pay lest you fall victim again but they don't actually say that.
Things that implicate what they refuse to say is kind of suspect
- jessaustin 5y agoThe "journalism" has been shoddy from the start. This entire "Russians are pwning the electric company" meme has always been motivated more by politics, CYA, PR, and marketing than it has by anything real. TFA itself is a mail-it-in, paraphrase-the-press-release "effort". They actually link to the press release rather than the original marketing document; it's possible TFA's authors haven't read the latter! There's no guarantee the marketing document answers your question, but if you have an email address you don't mind getting spammed you could find out for yourself.
