Yeah, but what about the day BEFORE the infection?
And the day before that, going back in time.
I worked two law firms -- half day each -- and one wanted 7 days of rolling backup. The other wanted 30 days of rolling backup.
For the first site, 6 external hard drives (EHD) were always offsite, and for the second, 29 EHD were always offsite.
In both cases, the firms' management made the call regarding:
1.) Cost of backup hardware and offsite storage 2.) Risk of record retention -- especially email.
The law firms were not required, by law, to retain emails at all.
They were, however, required to provide the emails as discoverable in litigation.
Neither were ever subpoenaed during my tenure, but each, separately, would have been incapable of complying with any email data requests going further back in time than their oldest backup.

Inherent cause: Greed.
Netflix binging isn't profitable.
Economics and I are no stranger.

CEOs and shareholders demand asymptotic stock price increases over a very short period of time.
Your response addresses neither stock price nor immediate gratification; both context parameters for "greed," in my post.
Economics used to be a complex subject.
Now it's pretty simple:
CEOs and shareholders demand asymptotic stock price increases over a very short period of time.
The buzzword for that is, "greed."
The end.
... memory loss.
You notice the wrong goddam things.
If you focus on the comment(s) you won't care if it's AC or not.
I'm not AC and I say that orange motherfucker is an admitted pussy grabber and he's self-identified as a sexual predator.
And, I have stuff that matters to back that up.

So it is written, so let it be done.
Your point is well-taken.
The only real protection from discovery would be the non-existence of emails (or other data) deliberately deleted prior to any overwrites with the backup.
TL;DR but a scan informs that IT is a cost center.
Problems have solutions ...
Some solutions to some problems is litigation.

How does your one-in-7-billion unique experience extrapolate to scale?

Agree, and it's because the hotel thinks the bottom line is accounts payable/accounts receivable where revenue exceeds expenses.
Loss-prevention is a cost of doing business.
Hotels can pay for that up front, or pay for it later.
Delay is expensive.
As discussed in TFS, they have to pay the ransom and then go back and pay to harden the system.
The pussy grabber in chief is swinging a bat.
Facebook and Google "think," but thoughts are useless as tits on a boar and don't actually matter.

It's not easy being a cost center.
I was always on the wrong side of the ledger.
All of my meetings with management were about spending money that they had to recover.
Sometimes a new implementation would be an instant money-saver, but that was not very often.
I insisted on one of two (2) things:
1.) Acceptance of my recommendations or
2.) An official email quoting my recommendation, along with the rejection of same.
2.) was, on occasion, the answer to the question, "How in the hell could you let this happen?"
... on whether you want to pass the background check or not.
Because it's not news for nerds or stuff that matters?
Perhaps you're in the wrong place.
No.
The battery is too big and using one would be battery.

Why in simple fuck is this down-modded?
You know goddam WELL that's what happened.
Someone with access to the cameras clicked on a phishing link.
I #resist and mod it +1 Insightful.
... secure phones.
We're all asking, "what's the next big thing in smart phones (and tablets)?"
It seems that just about everything's been done:
- Nice, big screens
- Advanced cameras
- Speedier processing
- Multitasking
- Sensor accuracy
What's missing is security.
I foresee "dark" phones and tablets that are ad-free -- for a price, of course.
Apple continues to #resist pressure to sell insecure products because that's not what the consumers want; especially in the high-end business and government markets.

Right. I hear Clinton's private server is up on Ebay.
