      According to iTWire, the trojan ransonware LeChiffre has hit three Indian banks and an Indian pharmaceutical, supposedly through email attachments, and the ransom for the return of the data on the Windows machines that it has encrypted is in the millions of dollars.

        This really changes the state of "will companies be willing to pay." When it is $300, people are quick to jump on the "of course you have to pay it" bandwagon. But when it is millions, it is much harder to decide that it is worth paying the ransom.
