Comment on Universities Targeted by NetWalker Ransomwareparent

No I can't, and I don't see how anyone would know of such an example unless they were directly involved; if such occurrences were known publicly, the regulator would also know, which defeats the entire point.

I don't have any idea regarding the scale of the impact laws like GDPR have had on cybercrime; I'm just pointing out that there's clearly an interaction (and I'm not the first person to say this by any means), and that I would be interested to know whether the California privacy laws had any impact on UC's decision.

I'm a big supporter of GDPR by the way; this isn't an "anti-GDPR fantasy", just my observation on a potential interaction between GDPR and cyber crime.
