And what about backups ? Is it cheaper to pay ransom then reinstall and copy data ? And then cut off f* internet until some security is in place ??

If that ransomware uses something like flash for persistence why not ask some jury to enforce hardware manufacturers to stop enabling worse and worse viruses ? Floppies, cd autoplay, usb, firewire, thunderbolt, 5G networking - everything exploitable right from the factory.




Actually, setting up a proper backup is last thing business want to spend money on.

Why do you think there is so many "increase your sales" products and so very few "backup" products?
