Ask HN: Did Garmin pay the $10m ransom?

9 pointsby colebowlalmost 5 years ago
As Garmin is starting to come back online from the ransomware attack, news outlets are reporting the attackers were demanding a $10m ransom. Security folks out there: How likely is it that Garmin paid up to regain access to their devices?

Pure speculation but I'd guess the feds were involved. If they didn't pay, it might tell us something about what the NSA (or whoever) is capable of.
