Reply to TIL that in 2020, researchers tried to determine the actual effects of ingesting George's Marvelous Medicine (from the Roald Dahl book), consisting of shampoo, anti-freeze, brown paint, floor polish, and 30 other household items. It would cause vomiting, kidney injury, convulsions, and likely death. by derstherower
Thanks science! We'll cope with the cancer and all. You stick to researching hypothetical outcomes from childrens books.

Sensitive data at rest should be encrypted. So if hackers get your data, the risk of release is low. My company also insures for a year of LifeLock for any customers impacted by an intrusion.

Wait. I was happy to be called an internet badass. I read no sarcasm at all into that.

It really is. A company should develop an action plan ahead of time. A recovery path should be designed to restore the most critical systems first. The plan should be updated and tested.
My company can recover from a worst case scenario starting with bare metal in less than three days for productuon systems, and another two days for non-critical systems (finance, HR, legacy and a few minor administrative systems).
This is really a solved problem with a little prep work. These days I see ransomware payments as a tax on stupidity and/or incompetence. I have no sympathy.

Why not just make it illegal to not have your data backed up?

Myrna? That old hag? I didn't recognize her without her glasses and babushka.
