This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They are not giving this windfall to charity.
When they use these funds to attack more targets, including schools, hospitals etc will you be happy then?
That is the problem. Every win by these groups fuels more activity.
I mean... Do schools and hospitals have that kind of money at all? You attack school with ransomware and then what? Ask them to pay? With what money, lol? Are they going to pay in kids chromebooks? It's far more lucrative to attack something that actually has money

The FBI is investigating a multiple-state hospital ransomware attack
15 healthcare systems have been hit with ransomware attacks in 2023
Schools Are a Top Target of Ransomware Attacks, and It’s Getting Worse
I suspect this will change once insurance companies stop giving coverage for ransomware. It's already been happening for a few years.
