   I’ve said it before but to say it again - a government, somewhere, is going to have to move on ransomware and extortion group payment bans. Once they do, other nations will follow suit.

   Gonna be pretty embarrassing, and predictable, if the US and UK have to follow rather than lead.

     @GossiTheDog Holy shit, I can't even begin to understand where that top post was coming from.

     @GossiTheDog Just found that post and am going in. I didn't make nearly enough popcorn for these comments...
