Of course there's a financial reason, they've probably done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that it's financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that's exactly the issue!

I mean... 🤷‍♂️ The analysis is made, decision made. I probably have an affected system but... What's the real risk for private end users? Should I really be so concerned?

Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes...

I haven't had malware on any of my computers for 20+ years. 🤷‍♂️ Ever since I stopped clicking on shitty links on shitty sites and downloading shitty files with unknown contents and such behavior. I don't think I'm worried. I'm not the target group for these kinds of attacks, I think.
