This is bad but it's going to force all these companies to overall their IT system, period. They can't keep on losing data or paying ransoms eternally, because at that point it cannot just be "the cost of doing business".
Ransomware companies are companies. They set their fees high but not so high they drive their "customers" out of business, at least not all their customers.
I hope things will change. The most likely seems like more of the same thing, which clearly won't change the situation. Also, the government huffs and puffs about arresting people somewhere.
The whole thing has "fall of the Roman Empire" vibes to it.
