If "all" of your data is being held to ransom and that will tank your company then you are a bad businessperson and deserve whatever you get.
Right now it's apparently cheaper to pay a ransom than it is to implement sane security and backup procedures. That needs to end.
- camjohnson26 5y agoThat would be true if it was possible for any company to have perfect processes, but that’s not the case. Companies are run by real people with real flaws and a perfect system doesn’t exist.
- codegeek 5y agoThat's like saying "Right now it's cheaper to not have locks so lets punish the homeowners who don't lock their doors instead of punishing the thieves and robbers" Yes, security and backup measures are critical and companies SHOULD be scrutinized for those things especially if you deal with mission critical data/information. But that has nothing to do with Ransomware Gangs.
