Wow they have that kind of money??
All the ham radio clubs I've been with have been living hand to mouth lol. Always having to beg everyone for money if something big needed doing.
Sad though that they wasted it on rewarding cybercrime actors.

- nickdurfe 2y agoThe article states that their insurance paid the ransom.
- kotaKat 2y agoOver $32m in investments sitting in ARRL's coffers. No wonder they figured they could go for broke on a ransom demand and hope for the payout. https://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Annual%20Reports/2022%20Annual%20Report%20ARRL%20AR2022%20072023C.pdf https://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Annual%20Report... - pg 44(ish)
