I'm curious if seeing headlines like this causes other companies to invest more in security. Or is it more like "well as long as it doesn't hit us we don't care"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would it? For some businesses, the reality is going to be that paying is necessary to continue to exist. What happens when that option, as crappy as it is, is off the table?
A few businesses die. The rest get the message that security matters. The ransomware industry is deprived of revenue.
With the US under a constant barrage of attacks it makes sense to trash the "space force" and create a legitimate "cyber security force." This may be our last chance to maintain global power through the use of force at all, given that so many competitors are gaining foothold in every other area. We need bullet proof IT infrastructure, instant backtracing, and effective retaliatory responses ready to deploy, yesterday…
What does it have to do with space force? These are two separate issues.

We have to protect our satellites, see what other nations are up to (perhaps even intercepting their sat comms), and make sure our hypersonic game is on point.
It's worth noting that "cyber warfare" is what the NSA already does.
I wonder if this will mean an increase in cyber security related postings in industries that have otherwise not had to worry about cyber security before (I.E the Steamship Authority, Meat industry etc)
Time to ban bitcoin. https://newrepublic.com/article/162589/ban-bitcoin-cryptocur...
Isn't this like banning cash to stop muggings?
Imagine encypting whole Maersk network and then asking ransom in cash? Wherever you decide to do the exchange there will be couple Apache/Eurocopters/Mis hovering around and watching you. With crypto just send them your XMR address, then wait couple years for heat to come down before mixing/cashing out.
