@rplst8 posted:Ha. Tell that to the folks at the Colonial pipeline or that hospital that got hacked with ransomware.
Apples and oranges.
Those entities got hacked because there is money to made by hacking them. And I'll guarantee that none of those systems were running windows. You're talking main frames, machine language, and big servers here, not individual work stations.
There's no money to be made by hacking individual computers. And even if I do get hacked or become a victim of ransomware, I've got everything on my machines (including the boot drives) backed up off-site. I just reformat the hard drives and run a big restore.
And I also tell the ransomware people where they can put their ransomware demand.
