Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

As usual, you present a well thought out argument. I think it's detection bias rather than survivorship bias. I did work on NSA AES-NI.
AES-NI (NSA exploit edition) was well put together and had an obvious ransomware motive. I've also looked at a lot of failed ransomware.
Most failed ransomware I've seen doesn't fail so catastrophically to allow recovery. But you're right, on the surface, the bias is apparent.
Well, the Nyetnya ransomware had to work hard to fail more spectacularly than the WannaCry ransomware.
