A dealer of routers, firewalls and other networking hardware, generates 2.5 billion USD in 2019 and then fails to establish a robust security plan. For shame. (n) Same delusion probably: ransomware only happens to someone else. Not us. Let's save big bucks so we can vacation in Barbados next month.

In a deranged moment, you might almost want to "compliment" the bad actors for administering a swift kick in the pants to these greedy, complacent companies.

Obviously, the hackers have attacked you again, but really they haven't learned the lessons of the past.
