Stupid people get ransomware.
Americans are stupid.
So Americans get ransomware.
>>
>>59534249
As an American I can confirm this
>>
as a non-american i would like to assert that maybe it is because americans are targetted more
>>
Because they are the wealthiest nation in the world and more likely to pay.
There's no point in targeting spics or chinks when statistically speaking they are much more likely to not have the money to pay
>>
You hunt where the ducks are.

As an American people here just don't fucking care. They download whatever without thinking. Just load up an antivirus and pretend it's a diamond shield. Something goes wrong they just toss it aside and either complain that they got hacked or know someone techy to fix it . Same thing with cars.
They just don't fucking care.

Being an IT trenches worker, and doing some research, some ransomware campaigns are focused in some geographical areas.

You could also infer that in that period of time some particular strains of ransomware focused in the US. BTW 2016 was election year.

Stupid / computer illiterate people exists everywhere, from the lowest of the blue collars to the top execs.

this isn't adjusted for population so it's basically a map showing how many there are computer users. and yeah amerikeks are retarded but this isn't the primary role

agreed
1 up for Switzerland
greatest country in the world

Actually I'm pretty sure wealthy eu countries, such as Switzerland or Norway have much higher average living standards and probably salary, than us.

A diamond shield would shatter quite easily. Don't make stupid analogies.

Our country voted to make Cheeto Hitler president. That in itself should tell you Americans are absolutely fucking braindead.

Seems likely that many ransomware developers would target americans specifically, and that this leads to a larger portion of infected computers ending up belonging to americans as a result.

>15% of global encounters were in America

is there any data on what operating systems are still used in America? I bet a lot of the non tech-literate americans are still on XP, which makes the job of anyone creating the ransomware just that much easier.
