That's why I never trust "non-cloud" companies with cloud storage, because you never know if they suddenly don't want to do it anymore, or in this case get hacked because of incompetencies.

Hmm but why target such a well known company? It's almost guaranteed that they will not pay to save face, no?

Funny, because I always think of Amazon is as a "non-cloud" company, especially when most think of it as a place to shop. Of course, I know it's not.

Seriously though, fujifilm is a conglomerate and known for their pivots. If they did not reinvent themselves, the would have been joining Kodak.

No. Lots of big names will payout ransoms, that's why it works. [0]
