Comment on Ransomware Hackers Steal Millions From Vegas Casinos
MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI 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

They are a regular targets:
The FBI is investigating a multiple-state hospital ransomware attack
15 healthcare systems have been hit with ransomware attacks in 2023
Schools Are a Top Target of Ransomware Attacks, and It’s Getting Worse

I suspect this will change once insurance companies stop giving coverage for ransomware. It’s already been happening for a few years.

Welp, if you’re targeting schools and hospitals, that means, you’re pretty fucking stupid. And if you’re pretty fucking stupid, then there’s a high change you’re going to get caught sooner or later. So whatever, lol
