They went and hired ransomware-as-a-service hackers and sold out their respective charges in exchange for 80% of the ransom.

They had degrees and certifications and job experience with big name firms, and they were dumb as bricks. I think it's a gold plated example of modern credentialism. We're churning out hordes of "certified" idiots getting green-lit by pedigreed managers and MBAs following "successful patterns" and nobody has a damn clue how things work or why. And we let them vote.
