For those masturbating about the ransom payment, the difference is that the traitors/hackers will be hunted down to face justice no matter how long it takes. Unlike our people here that indirectly fund terrorists activities through continuous ransom payments. How many of the ransom collectors have been brought to justice? Will be good to know. |

Hndrrxxx: It is the company that paid, and not the US Government. Eventually, the combined US Government intelligence efforts will catch them, the company can’t wait that long as they have to resume business otherwise they can go bankrupt or a competitor can take over their client or base. This is not the first time, this has happened in the US....just like everywhere else, individuals, families and companies do negotiate with the bad guys just to rescue their love ones precious commodity despite the stands of the Government. 2 Likes |
