That is a risk of doing business. If they don't anticipate this kind of thing and build contingencies around it, they are simply bad at business.

Risk without risk mitigation is just bad business.
You don't understand risk or business if you think a good business mitigates all risks, or even its largest risks.

The biggest risk for a medical company is harming patients. Do they just throw up their hands and stop being a medical company?

The biggest risk for social media firm is the social media they serve through goes down. So what, they throw up their hands and stop being a social media firm?

The biggest risk is losing all money and going out of business. Harming patiences are a cost.
Absolutely not what I am saying, please read up.
