Would you rather: 1) Have your vulnerable systems taken offline w/o warning by whitehat (with note on how to patch) 2) Get crypto-ransom
Exactly. I am wondering if the damage that is being done as we speak is sufficient to warrant experimenting with such options.

i.e. would option 1 cause less damage to the target than option 2.
-
option 1: large damage in small amount of cases, option 2: unknown damage in unknown but growing cases
-
hard equation to tackle
-
The reports I'm seeing in main stream media on option 2 are of large damage in many cases, both rising fast.
-
And I didn't include other kinds of cyber crime, which only makes the case for option 1 stronger.
-
I don't disagree, I just don't know if anyone wants to take on that risk
-
AFAIK you'd be braking the law if you did this. Government would have to be involved if you ever wanted to implement this.

but what's the next step? Do you install RAT and keep them patched? Leave a doc about good security practices and backups?
