Great resource, and thanks for sharing. I thought the most recent wave was unusual in several ways.
1. It appears that payment wasn't well-thought out nor complete, and perhaps wasn't the primary reason. 2. It started in Ukraine, which is certainly the center of a lot of turmoil these days. 3. So far, there doesn't seem to be a flaw in the encryption, so with the payment portal turned off, folks whose machines were encrypted are out of luck with no chance of recovery. Hope they had a good off-line backup!
