Hot #CyberSecurity take:
Companies and organizations should be required to publicly disclose amounts paid to #Ransomware gangs. Better yet, governments should make it illegal for business to pay cybercriminals in the first place...
Not only does paying these groups fund their operation, it also puts a big flag on said company/organization that says "Hey! We pay digital ransoms which makes us VIP targets for future attacks!!"
