Introduce a plan of anti-ransomware measures

Petition Details

Ransomware computer viruses target more and more ordinary UK citizens and organizations. Viruses like described here: http://myspybot.com/odin-virus/ cause huge damages. Millions flow away into cyber criminals' pockets. We want to know what is being done to protect us.

Additional Information

Plenty of things an be done:

- Government can strengthen cryptocurrencies related laws. For example, make Bitcoin exchange companies keep records of their users.

- Government can cooperate with security professionals to develop decryption tools.

- Government can introduce stronger online data protection policies. Organizations should create backups of their data.

- Government can raise awareness that we should stop paying to hackers. Make paying immoral and maybe illegal.
