That’s a pretty nice payday for not really doing anything all day. I am pretty sure that the hacker might’ve paid for the ransom software so he might be in the negative right now.
What is kind of surprising to me is that these people have Bitcoin already installed or they have already verified their profiles on Bitcoin Exchanges that allowed them to pay the ransom. That was really fast considering how Bitcoin is pretty new to the scene, somebody should fire the tech guy.

Even if you don't know about it before, there are some occasions that will warrant you to be a fast learner by all means and moreover, it doesn't take up to 30 minutes to get a verified bitcoin wallet. With someone firing the tech guy,  Grin it is possible the organisation didn't consider anything regarding cybersecurity which is a huge department on its own but at least the tech guy should have been backing up one way or the other, so I agree with you, he should be fired.
