"[Police] insisted that the Massachusetts police systems were now clear of infection, and that essential operational computers were not affected, nor was there any data stolen."
How the hell would they even know?
- jrockway 13y agoAccording to every article I've read on the Internet, you can't steal data, only copy it. It's not stealing if the owner is not deprived of the original copy. Therefore, it's correct to say that no data was stolen.
- polymatter 13y agoSure, but are the police using that definition of stealing?
- leeoniya 13y agowhy not? it's the least untruthful answer
- ademarre 13y agoThat's certainly not the MPAA's or RIAA's definition of stealing.
- belorn 13y agoI know i am replying to a troll comment, but here it is. It is very easy to steal data. Copy the data, and then delete the original. However, the goal of this malware is to neither delete nor copy the data. It simply sabotage the data, after which the computer user has to pay in order for getting the data restored.
