Actually, setting up a proper backup is last thing business want to spend money on. Why do you think there is so many "increase your sales" products and so very few "backup" products?

The key here is that you will not be able to use ‘security insurance’ money to pay for ransom. What is happening now is that companies are saying: we do not need backup, let’s just have security insurance (and some minimal backup so that in

The joke about paying taxes: put one more column with name ‘Romanovs’ and do calculations again. When I came to US, my colleagues and friends did understand the joke. Now some of them they do.

The government is not some imaginary person in the sky: it is me and you. You can influence it - but you cannot influence Apple. Of course, being involved in government / politic is hard and takes time. You cannot change things by post

The sad thing is that there are so many bad extensions but they are run by professionals (crime gangs). They can figure out how to game the system (since there is no humans - that is definitely possible). So this "half-ass" approa
