What About Corporate Ransomware?
Don't forget Corporate Ransomware is on the rise as well.
Seems that thugs on both sides want as much of our money as they can get and aren't holding back when it comes to using the stick.

Anti-consumer technologies that hold your data/device/technology in check for money is the biggest new trend in computing. From DRM to WGA/OGA to Sony Rootkits big business is no longer content with "trusting" the consumer and they are using the stick to make sure they get what they deserve and a little something else for their extra effort. Hey it's for our own protection we are continually told. I guess we are paying them protection money now. Organized Business.

This is a new trend that deserves some consideration on everyone's behalf.
