    Article in Dutch by national broadcaster NOS
    Vaker gijzelsoftware, 'betalen is goedkoper dan bedrijf stil laten liggen'
    https://nos.nl/artikel/2307980-vake...-goedkoper-dan-bedrijf-stil-laten-liggen.html

    More and more companies in the Netherlands are getting hit by ransomware.
    It looks like more companies (and lesser home users) are getting victim.
    Paying is often cheaper than letting the company go down.

    Sorry, article is in Dutch. With comments from Fox-IT and Kaspersky, among others.

    PS: the Dutch word "gijzelsoftware" can be understood as "Ransomware"
