Men, women or children who work and live in countries that are at internet war with the US need to be classified the same as ISIS. They are cockroaches in desperate need of extermination. I would like to call on the Congress of the United States to urgently pass a bill that would support with hard cash rewards, any mercenary who endeavors to get out and kill any individual proven to work in the ransom-ware profession. And, please let's make this effort very lucrative by offering such perks as citizenship for those who excel and who live in foreign nations, and perhaps cash in the amount of tens of thousands of dollars for everyone here or abroad. And maybe even a bonus of one million USD if they manage to take down a whole nest of these hackers!
Seriously, this trend of holding people's computer ransom will only grow with time as even now now police departments all across this country are being held hostage and are even paying money to get their own systems back on line! It's way past time to go after the crud of humanity that make this sort of misery a profession!
Let me be clear, just as with ISIS, I would like to see drafted a bill that would remove any and all methods of killing these rodents that share the planet with the rest of civilized life. I hope I made myself clear on this point.
