@gcluley@mastodon.green Seems like a good idea. I can think of several upsides.

@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:
-
Will adequate measures be taken to preserve the anonymity of the victims?
-
Might this not be just a first step towards banning ransom payments - something I am strongly opposed to?
@gcluley@mastodon.green It's a start but the right approach is to require all ransomware payments go through full money laundering and know your customer rules. In other words to make them unpayable and the penalties for doing so or even assisting in doing so huge.
