@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social As much as banning payments sounds like a good idea, IMO it won't improve the ransomware epidemic. The solution is financial levers via cyber insurance, cat bonds, and focusing on the basics. Bans of financial practices have done little to actually prevent them. Corporations just get better at hiding them. Corporations constantly still break Sarbox and the US government can barely keep up with enforcing it and other financial laws. The assumption that corporations won't break the law is assinine. They do it every day and will continue to do so. That's the American way (tm).
