That's why they attack hospitals. Depending on the systems that are corrupted, lives may depend on resolving the problem as quickly as possible. Many hospitals have adapted by beefing up their IT department, but enough of them have just paid the ransom to make hospitals a profitable target.

Some hospitals have insurance that will cover the ransom too. Time is more important than the money.
