having worked in a large company hit by the first wave of wannacry ransomware (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14326555 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14326555), i am doubtful that most companies can just ignore the disruption in business during an attack. not every company can go analogue while dealing with an attack like mgm. in a balance sheet, paying the ransom is just catching up to inadequate budgeting for systematic security efforts. while the person at the end will always be the weakest link, so much more can be done to avoid most attacks. maybe everyone going back to thin client like windows 365 would finally put this to end.
