Should a company pay a "small" ransom to protect highly sensitive medical data?

The $60,000 Dilemma

🚨 THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED. > The hacker group "Kazu" set a 48-hour ultimatum for ManageMyHealth to pay a $60,000 ransom or face a full leak of 400,000+ medical files.

Here’s the "Decode the Hacks" breakdown of the ethical war zone:

πŸ“‰ The Hackers' Logic: Kazu says the $60k is a "low-ball" offer to close the deal fast and build their brand as a "trustworthy" business. They’re essentially holding patient privacy hostage for the price of a mid-range SUV.

🚫 The Gov Position: The NZ Government says "NEVER PAY." Paying only funds the next attack and proves that medical data is a high-ROI target.

πŸ‘€ The Victim's Reality: If it were your clinical notes, psychiatric documents, or private photos on the line... would you want the company to just pay the $60k and make it go away?

What do you think? Is there ever a "right" choice here?
