Many ransomware groups of today operate in the same way a legal tech startup would. It’s a large organization with clear goals, not just some guys fooling around. It’s a funny thought tho.

How do laypersons (noobs) like me learn about this stuff? Like Wired magazine technical level.

I've just started Darknet Diaries podcast. So great.

When I worked on electronic medical records, I assumed it was just a matter of time until we were hacked (too). All the most banal reasons: many vendors, shared passwords, root/admin access, etc.

I imagine things haven't improved much since.

Darknet Drinking Game: a shot every time something is “unbelievable to me”

Yeah but large tech companies don’t just operate by breaking laws like this.

laws that allow big players hurt minorities are any good? Rockstar recently had a strike from their workers by their abuse and layoffs

You sure about that?

Sure they do, Uber is probably the most famous in that regard, but plenty break things and pay a fine later.

In fact I’d say that sort of law breaking is downright routine. The key difference is the ability to afford a really good legal and lobbying team.

I know you're joking, but the game will be released eventually anyway.
