    Sure, but I’m not shedding too many tears in this case.

      When they use these funds to attack more targets, including schools, hospitals etc will you be happy then?

        If they figure out that casinos and the like are far more profitable, they’ll leave the schools alone.

        I mean… Do schools and hospitals have that kind of money at all? You attack school with ransomware and then what? Ask them to pay? With what money, lol? Are they going to pay in kids chromebooks? It’s far more lucrative to attack something that actually has money

  Was there a group that accidentally infected a bunch of hospitals and provided the decryption key at no charge?
