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.

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