I would not want to be that hacker when they finally figure out who did it. You don’t mess with Texas!

I think it’s time to sue the hell out of gmail, ymail and hotmail for not screening this crap! These ransomewares all come from 3rd party Emails. Either don’t allow employees to get to them, or beef up security and back the crap up!
