Companies may be punished for paying ransoms to sanctioned hackers
So a hacker has your data, and demands money.<p>The government's proposal:<p>1. If you pay the hacker, we want money because you paid a hacker.<p>2. If you don't pay the hacker, we want money because you leaked your users' data.<p>The bottom-line is that if you're a victim of ransomware, the government joins the hacker, both of them kicking you while you're down and demanding money.
