The proposed rules seek to respond to a record year for ransomware attacks, with the task force estimating ransomware syndicates collected close to $350 million during 2020 — up 200% from the previous year. The lion’s share of profits were accumulated through targeting government agencies, hospitals, educational institutions, and private companies.
Of course this is a double-edged sword, you should never trust government entities and above all what is most sought is to end anonymity, I will never agree with ransonware or with robberies and scams, but I feel that they are doing this to take advantage of the problem.
