It seems like we also don’t care what the damage is or else we would make at least some effort to secure our IT systems. Of course the robber should be blamed but those who leave their doors wide open are guilty too. If we care so much about the consequences of ransomware attacks, why do we not act and avoid shitty software that only compromises security and instead built more resilient systems?
The US government stepped up it’s Cyber security under Obama. And until now they’ve had an open offer for anyone with basic cyber security certs to get a government job auditing companies and begging them to put modern security practices into place.

Any security system is only as strong as its weakest link.
Typically that is the humans operating within it.

Trump shut them down.
Bah, you should see how many gov systems aren’t even FedRamp certified. It’s crazy how far behind the USA is on basic hardening of systems.
Oh I understand, and somehow that is better than it was.
