You are the IT manager of a small business. The owner called you late on Friday
night to inform you that s/he just received an anonymous call demanding
payment of $10,000 or the company’s customer database will be encrypted and
made inaccessible by a logic bomb that has been planted in the firm’s billing
system. Drawing on your knowledge of actions that must be taken in the event of
