Will Garmin Pay $10m Ransom to End Two-Day Outage?
- mrtweetyhack 6y agoFile a complaint to all the IP ISPs and bet them turned off. Place $10 million on the heads of the hackers.
- trocado 6y agoIf it matters, as a customer /user, I'd rather forego all my data on their cloud and wait whatever time is necessary for them to rebuild the systems, than have Garmin pay the ransom.
- tdrp 6y agoAccording to this TC article, it's basically illegal for a company to pay the ransom: https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/25/garmin-outage-ransomware-sources/ https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/25/garmin-outage-ransomware-s... I sort of agree with that since if companies start paying up then suddenly that thing will be more and more widespread.
