This is not a sales pitch; in fact, I explain why no product or service can truly deliver us from the tightening jaws of ransomware. This is an exploration of an idea that will deliver all the criteria of success for the world to collaboratively end ransomware!
It all starts with one simple concept: criminalize the payments of digital ransoms.
It is a controversial proposal.
The act of establishing a criminal law prohibiting the payment of ransoms will start a chain reaction that will ultimately end in the undermining of ransomware attacks across the globe.
In today’s video, I break down that cascading set of events that would reverse the incredible growth trend of this digital attack and end ransomware as we know it. Be sure to stay for the end, where I list all the arguments against this idea, gathered from discussions with peers. I will dispel them all in next week’s video.
It all starts with one simple yet controversial concept: criminalize the payments of digital ransoms.
