I hope so. But they have to read and understand the labels.

I would prefer actually secure, private, and safe.

Great overview and recommendations! Thanks for the links.

Especially that moment when you roll into an emergency room but can't tell the doctors what allergies you have or what meds you are currently on. Proper medical records can save lives (or take them).

But for a criminal, having control of over $600 million is overwhelming reason to try and launder at least some of it.

Definitely a possibility. Insider knowledge can go a long way to undermining security.

Not many in the survey or in discussions, thought it was the U.S. offensive cyber forces that was behind it.

It has taken a long time just to get this far...

It is great that your company is investing more in security, but that it is not the overall industry trend of investment necessary to mitigate ransomware. We are seeing a repeat of what companies did during

How is applying good security controls not in their best interest? Right now, companies are transferring the risk to insurance, instead of investing in good security. Regardless, the problem gets worse

Separate the attacker from their objective that satisfies their motivation. Remove the money and there is less motivation for robbers. That is why convenience stores began using time-locked safes, to remove

Okay, you put a lot of thought an effort into your response. I will do the same and address your points and questions. The problem still exists in Columbia. One of the major issues is that it became so

No need to stop everyone, just put a big enough dent into the activity to make it really unlikely for criminals to get paid. The biggest group we need to stop are the businesses, who are paying HUGE sums

If the audit returns no discernable discrepancies to what was certified, do you think the people (that hope there is some sort of fraud) will finally accept the findings? Even if it means they must accept

They are a victim right up to the point that they provide material support for attackers who will harm others. Paying the ransom hurts others. The good news, is if everyone stops paying then ransomware

It is not intended to punish anyone but the criminals. Enacting this would greatly reduce all Ransomware, helping protect all potential victims. Something similar was done for Privacy. EU made it illegal
