    they could just as well choose to help them.

    I think that’s what I have a hard time believing. If they could “just as well” help, it is my belief that they also would. Because I don’t think they’re morons. I think they know this hurts their reputation. There has to be some obstacle, be it financial or lack of man power or… something. That is my belief.

    Don’t you (all) think that sounds more likely than them just leaving their customers in the dark for no other reason than not having to do work?

      Of course there’s a financial reason, they’ve probably done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that it’s financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that’s exactly the issue!

        I mean… 🤷‍♂️ The analysis is made, decision made. I probably have an affected system but… What’s the real risk for private end users? Should I really be so concerned?

          Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes…
