Everything else in this thread so far seems really negative (with ample justification) of even the idea of sharing this data.

Everything else in this thread so far seems really negative (with ample justification) of even the idea of sharing this data. But, personally I wish there was something like the CDC for this type of "cyber" crime. If there's a 1000% increase in cryptolocker like ransomware showing up, I would actually like the FBI to investigate. If DDOS extortion schemes are being systematically targeted against companies big and small - that would seem to call for a government response. At the very least if we just collectively knew more about all of the attacks that were happening I feel as if responses could be improved. If someone can DDOS Ford's website and demand $1000 to call off the deluge and Ford pays it - this would seem to make all of us more vulnerable. If it had to be reported maybe it would help.
