What's the end result? Prosecuting the victim of a cybercrime for paying a ransom?

• Tuna-Fish 1y ago
  The end result is less cybercrime and thus less victims. The way you get there is prosecuting the victims of cybercrime for paying a ransom, if any are stupid enough to break the law.

    Alternatively, reporting of cyber crime craters or is massively delayed.

      Right, because it's so easy to hide an outage of that scale.

        You're right that the biggies wouldn't really have that option. I'm sure they're not the only ones that get hit by such attacks, though. Smaller and non-public companies would have to think about it. I'm not even arguing for a specific policy, but I didn't like how the framing of the post was about being "stupid" enough to break the proposed law. It wouldn't be that simple.
