This is also why you shouldn't pay the fuckers. It just encourages them to do it more.

That requires the people at the top to have the intelligence to hire a competent IT department and keep frequent enough back ups. This is a line of though most of American civilian leadership rejects outright. They see IT as nothing but a huge cost that can be cut at a moment's notice and then offshored to some third world country to "save money." A move which invariably costs them more money, but that's next quarter's problem.
