The thing with ransomware to keep in mind is the cybersecurity industry is ballooning into a trillion dollar defense industry, largely off the back of ransomware.

The same vendors also own the major incident response providers.. and the vulnerable products.

The industry also brokers and resells stolen credentials, is involved in negotiations, insurance etc etc. They also control the threat intel and messaging to law enforcement.

The incentives are to keep the money taps on.
