Paying these ransoms should just be illegal.
Why?
Incentive. Now it's a business.
I don't think it would stop them, but I guess it could be tried.
If it's important enough people would pay anyway (maybe in a more hidden way but nonetheless would pay).
If they can't get anything out of it, then they are just wasting their time with the chance of getting caught.
They will stop soon enough.
Yeah... like making it illegal to buy drugs. It always works so well.
well I think we're all in favor of opening rehabilitation clinics for rich corporations that decide to cut corners.
