According to various research reports including this one from Cybersecurity Ventures, global ransomware is growing at a fast rate (from $325 mil in 2015 to $5 bil in 2017 according to this report)
http://cybersecurityventures.com/ransomware-damage-report-2017-5-billion/As most ransomware demand BTC payments and some major corporations stock up on BTC in anticipation of these attacks does anyone feel that they are indirectly investing in the ransomware industry?
Bs. Why would they stock up on Bitcoin just to give it away ? What a load of crap. Anyone who pays randsomware deserve not having their files. If noone paid the randsomware then they would stop making it.
