Is there any case of a company suffering significant financial backlash due ransomware attacks?
My current impression is: consumers don't care, regulators don't care... so why should CEOs care?
- hnthrowaway0315 3y agoYeah you have a good point.
- rileyphone 3y agoCustomers care if your business is in security, especially b2b. Though the biggest downstream effects are probably from security tightening making it more difficult to get anything done. Source: my company was hit a couple months ago
- dimitrios1 3y agoI don't think in the case of airlines we have the option to care. We are just kind of stuck with whatever the government-backed airline oligarchy chooses to do. The airlines would be the ones to have to care for it to matter. When the 737-MAX crashes occurred many frequent travelers, including myself, flat out refused to fly 737-MAX even after we were given assurances by the regulatory bodies. But after a while it just didn't matter. Life goes on, your company will book you on the plane that's the cheapest or part of their plan or whatnot, and you just get stuck being a cog in the wheel again.
