I honestly thought most companies just paid the ransom.
This isn't exactly the same thing, but I used manage a Best Buy up north. One early Monday morning I got a call at home from the regional manager. He said I needed to send x amount of computers, televisions, video games, etc. to the store at 40 and Noland.
This is when it was tucked back away, and and not really close to Noland road. Every store in the 32 store region had to send product to that Independence store.
Sunday night the store closed early like always, and when it was dark, I guess a couple of 18 wheelers rolled up to the back dock, and someone with knowledge of the alarm disabled it, and the stole every high dollar item in the store. They had to have had 40-50 people somehow, because the store was wiped out. They even used the heavy equipment to steal all the washers and Dryers that were stored in racks around the outer wall of the store.
All 32 stores in our region restocked that store, and Best Buy never said a word about it publicly. They obviously reported it, but they did d everything they could to make sure no one found out what happened, because they were afraid if would spawn a lot of similar attempts around the country.
