To stop hackers all places like cities, hospitals, corps, etc should legally be forced to have a proper backup strategy...so hacker says pay me for your data, and everyone says eff off

Mandating cyber insurance coverage could help as well and help align financial interests with cybersecurity ones

Yes, agreed

Hamilton did have cyber insurance, I bet their premium is through the roof now
