Do, do we, the United States, fight back? Is there an industry that pr- tries to prevent this, or the government that does and goes after these folks? What do we do defensively in the face of attacks like this, please, sir?

Well, the, the government has departments and organizations in place to do the cyber defense.

Th- there is a structured, uh, system in place for that.

But as far as who's responsible for everything, you gotta think about it as sort of like a, uh, a layered approach, where manufacturers of these devices, they, they have a role in designing secure products and, and addressing these vulnerabilities.

Uh, the businesses that are, that are implementing them, they, they need to configure them.

They ne- need to maintain the equipment.

And the contractors or, uh, service providers that are doing the security for them, they g- they gotta implement the security.

Um, you know, if I, if I'm a hospital or a school or a business or whatever, uh, what's the status of, like, ransomware attacks? Is that still a thing, please, sir?
