   There should be serious discussions across Europe about having the levers to pull in place to ban payments to ransomware groups. Very soon. In case they are required.

   Russian ransomware groups do not attack countries which align with the Russian government.

   Since there’s a global realignment happening, that country list to not attack may widen - which gives a much smaller geographic region to target.

     @GossiTheDog I don't think ransomware is an allegiance thing. It is a money thing. So long as people in the US are wealthier and still willing to pay, the US will always be a target.

     It's a hard sell to suggest the Russian government doesn't soak every last ruble out of its people.

     @GossiTheDog US businesses are fair game now, and will remain so. Trump won't fight back, and Putin doesn't leave money on the table.
