Title: Cybercriminal Woes
Validity: Moderate+ IT sector rank
Sitting down at your desk this morning, you notice that your computer is asking for payment in the popular "maxcoin" cryptocurrency to log in and get your files back.
Option 1: The flabbergasted IT manager bursts through your office door, "@@LEADER@@! Don't touch the keyboard! My team is working to fix things now, but it will take some time. It would be great if we could get more funding for our technology defenses to prevent these attackers from returning. We could even expand it to protect @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ to deter attacks on our government and vital industry."
Effect: Accessing computers requires users to give up an arm, leg, and answers to their last five social media quizzes
Option 2: "@@NAME@@ doesn't negotiate with terrorists, so why would this be any different than dealing those Bigtopian radicals?" suggests Minister of Defense @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We should take the fight to them, literally. Can't hack us if they don't have a building to stand in."
Effect: "Kinetic Strikes" are a popular option against cyber criminals
Option 3: Carrying a lantern and scroll, @@RANDOMNAME@@ dismounts from @@HIS@@ horse and approaches you, "why do we need all of this technology anyways? I grew up without all this new-fangled technology and turned out fine. I'm sure the rest of the country would too."
Effect: @@NAME@@ returns to a simpler time, free of technological distractions
