Pay the ransom to the extortionists

[relemedf5w023]

As cynical as it may sound, they try to assess the expediency of paying the extorted amount as objectively as possible. After all, the ransom amount is often not astronomical and is also set individually. Some sources write that the attackers, having received money from the company, will still not give it the key. This is not entirely true. As we noted, ransomware today is a kind of well-established business, and those who are engaged in it are unlikely to undermine the possibilities for its further "development". Nevertheless, according to some studies, there were still isolated cases of keys not being given out.

What is much worse is that if you pay, the attackers will definitely (again, caring about the “successful development” of their own business) take note of your organization and will attack it with tripled zeal in the future, which has already been proven many times in practice.

Of course, paying criminals a reward and thus providing them with indirect support is also a very serious image loss. It is no coincidence that the results of the same studies differ so significantly in cases of real payments. In direct surveys, not many admit that they paid, and we get a very small percentage. If they use indirect forms, for example, surveying service providers with whom the affected customers work, the figures are completely different.
