Make hiding ransomware attacks a criminal offense mandatory and offer whistleblower programs to companies that try to conceal it. This is an issue of national security. Individual alcohol problems are irrelevant and not comparable to large corporations.

And then you've just created a chain of legislation with the associated loopholes and confusion which will allow corporations to hide and deny any of it happening and then using legal fog to stonewall any Govt investigations and force people to risk their careers to call it out.

Forcing people to be whistle blowers is not a scalable enforcement plan. Very few people are willing to be one.

We need to legislate with the goal of corporate transparency not for more hidden behavior.
