Important data should always be backed up and kept offline.

There is no “offline”, once you’ve gone to the cloud. So all eyes are on the cloud, I would presume.

Important data should always be backed up and kept offline.

Enterprise organizations are backing up constantly, so the backup storage has to be kept online. Even with these backups, organizations like airlines, banks, etc. can be crippled if they have to go to backups that are not up to the minute. Worse, some of these malware will lay hidden for a while (remember Michelangelo?) and then the backups themselves may also be infected.

And people who release malware like this should simply be hunted down and killed.
Don’t like extra-legal punishment, but courts would never punish these people as they deserve.
