> 80% of orgs that paid the ransom were hit again This isn't true and I'm not sure why people think it is. This is not how the world works. Ransom crews are not cartoons, they are people like the rest of us running a business. At a very high level, sure, ransom paid then they might be 'hit again' by a random hacker testing the defences next year. Is that 'hit again'? 'Hit again' is not 'ransom again' If this is cookie cutter ransomware that's automated and you pay an automated system to un-encrypt. Sure the worm or what not will attack again is you don't fix that worms hole. This has zero to do with REvil and all the famous ransom crews that the title implies. That should be pretty obvious.
