Bооm is а cоmpаny thаt provides a videoconferencing app that individuals can use for free (with limited features) or with a paid account.  Boom advertises the availability of end-to-end encryption for all video calls with the paid app.  Artemis, a doctor, pays for the Boom app so that his calls with patients can be protected with end-to-end encryption.  A few weeks later, information surfaces that indicates that Boom does not actually offer end-to-end encryption as that term is commonly understood.  Instead, Boom encrypts traffic between Boom endpoints (but not between users).  The FTC begins an investigation into Boom based on these public reports.   After an investigation, the FTC brings an enforcement action against Boom.  What is the best way for the FTC to demonstrate the "substantial injury" portion of its unfairness test?

(Pleаse respоnd in 300–500 wоrds.) Lаst Fridаy, Veridian Analytics, a mid-sized data analytics firm, discоvered that its internal systems had been encrypted by ransomware. A note left on the network demanded $500,000 in cryptocurrency within 72 hours or the data—including sensitive client information—would be leaked online. The attack has crippled daily operations, locking employees out of customer dashboards, reports, and internal tools. The IT team quickly isolated the affected systems and brought in a third-party cybersecurity firm. Preliminary investigation suggests the ransomware entered through a phishing email. Veridian has a cybersecurity insurance policy, but the executive team is unsure how or when to involve the insurer. Complicating matters, the company only backs up its data once a week, meaning several days of client data may be unrecoverable if the systems are wiped. The company’s incident response plan hasn’t been updated in over a year, and several team members are unfamiliar with their roles. Some executives are pushing to pay the ransom to resume operations and avoid reputational fallout. Others warn that paying could encourage more attacks, undermine company policy, and still leave the firm vulnerable if the attackers don’t follow through. Meanwhile, clients are demanding answers, and a tech journalist has reached out for comment. Question:If you were advising Veridian’s executive team, how would you organize the company’s response to this ransomware attack? Who should be involved internally and externally, and what role might the cyber insurance provider play? How should the company weigh the decision to pay or not pay the ransom, especially considering the weekly backup limitation? What are the most important steps Veridian should take now—and in the months ahead—to contain the damage, preserve trust, and build long-term resilience?
