Shocking and I guess I will never buy a Garmin product.

Not cool. They should be ashamed for not having backups and recovery procedures in place. It’s not like this kind of thing is new.

How did the ransomware end up on their systems in the first place?

Poor security rules in place, that's why and stupid people.

Wouldn't paying the ransom be a crime in itself? They are facilitating a crime.
