@gcluley@mastodon.green Good idea in principle, because the gathered data will give us a much better picture of the severity of the problem. I have two worries, though:

  1. Will adequate measures be taken to preserve the anonymity of the victims?

  2. Might this not be just a first step towards banning ransom payments - something I am strongly opposed to?

Run to the hills! Run to the hills! Pull the communication cord! in c/cybersecurity@fedia.io
