My previous boss stores company data this same way. I begged him to approve the $5 per month cost for Backblaze on the computers I used. He approved it for some, but not all (about half of the ten computers). He completely rejected the idea for the company's data. After all, it was already protected by RAID.

"...larger companies probably should be paying someone to regularly scrape these criminal bot services, even buying back their own employee credentials to take those vulnerable systems off the market. Because that’s probably the simplest and cheapest incident response money can buy."

Krebs makes a very good point in the last paragraph. Way way way cheaper than paying ransoms.
