MalwareBytes recommends strongly that you NOT pay the ransom. Of course, with a hospital that may not be so easy.

The FBI, which until now, did not have a stance either way has come out and urged people NOT to pay the ransom.

It doesn't seem good for business for the criminals to not send the encryption key. Just this story alone would convince many people not to pay.

I could see falling for the attachment, but then enabling macros. That's crazy.
