The delicate ecosystem of the unwatched computer.
- ineedasername 5y agoI'm tempted to clone my backups to an unsecure computer deliberately infected with ransomware that exfiltrates data so that I have a tertiary, albeit very expensive, offsite backup. At least if I could negotiate negligible maintenance payments with a balloon payment should I ever need to pursue file restoration. But if REvil etc. are going to branch out like that, they really need to follow the traditional protection racket and engage in, let's say, aggressive counter measures with the potential for rapid bodily disassembly of any competitors that come along.
