Do you know that by paying ransom you are indirectly supporting the perpetrators of ransomware?
Unfortunately, paying ransom does not mean that you or your organization will have your data or access returned. Some victims who paid the demanded amount have reported being targeted again by cybercriminals.
Your payment might even be utilized as a source of finance to continue their illegal activities.
Therefore, this is a business decision that needs consultation from cybersecurity experts who have in-depth experience in this field.
