    I think $10,000,000 could be better spent if it were put on the head of the hackers.

    There was a movie, probably 15-20 yrs ago now, I'm thinking it might have been Mel Gibson or Bruce Willis, but could be some other action guy. The jist of the movie was the rich guys kid was kidnapped and held for ransom. But instead of paying the ransom he offered the same amount of money as a bounty to anyone that would return his kid and do away with the bad guys.
    Let Garmin offer a bounty on the hackers, see what happens, LOL

    Wasn’t that Ransom with Mel Gibson?


    In this case it s probably not some kid in his mommy’s basement with a faded 20 O 8 vintage poster above his bed but likely Russian or Chinese military hackers.

    of course you are right but I'd still like to see the hackers get GOT.
