There's nothing definitive that says they paid the ransom or obtained the decryption key from the attackers. Rumors on Twitter say that they're rebuilding services from backups and slowly getting things back online

I can imagine it's possible that a 1-week outage + cyber risk insurance claim + rebuilding from backups could net out to less than $10M.

It doesn't matter. Unless a live is at risk, you never ever pay ransoms, or others will try again.
