The guy who wrote this blog post also previously published an "educational" ransomware project that was widely-abused for half a decade.
Just to add some context to this guy's "opinions" -- for those who didn't know.
I wouldn't take my advice from someone who open-sourced a fully functional ransomware project for some klout.

If my system gets hit with a ransomware that's open source (and thereby likely very easy to create antivirus signatures for), I'd blame my system and the attacker, not the author.
