In reality there are probably lots of cash strapped students who have Macs. The last 3 paragraphs of the article: '"When I shared the news with Mr. Hoats, he was jubilant. “That is great news, truly!” he wrote. “Whoever these yahoos are, they have some little shred of humanity.” But Mr. Wisniewski had a more pragmatic take. “From what we can tell, they almost always honor what they say because they want word to get around that they’re trustworthy criminals who’ll give you your files back.” Welcome to the new ransomware economy, where hackers have a reputation to consider.' It sounds to me as though a few legitimate companies could learn a lesson about customer service from the crooks. Strange twist eh? -- Of dates and times: %S - Second as decimal number (00–61), allowing for up to two leap-seconds (but POSIX-compliant implementations will ignore leap seconds)

Trust bunnies may have Macs paid by a trust fund, but not necessarily
the cash beyond needs for school...
