Comment on Ransomware Hackers Steal Millions From Vegas Casinos
MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 9 months 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

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