Baltimore - $18 Million Later: This Is Why We Didn't Pay the Ransom

You are about to get into your car when a masked man pulls a gun and takes your keys.

"Here's how this is going to work," he says. "You get your keys back if you give me $100 right now. Otherwise, I keep the keys and I'm driving away in your $30,000 car."

If you think about it, a ransomware demand is kind of like that.

Just ask the City of Baltimore.
