Wait. I’m not in this IT Security business and not very informed but… Do people, and even public sector organizations, actually pay ransoms on ransomware?
I just assumed “ok goodbye data let’s call it a day” but never looked into it.
There was a time where ransomware groups would decrypt your files if you paid up. Which was often cheaper than restoring an old backup or not having any
At some point, groups started not “honoring” the decryption promise. Which made everything a lot more uncertain
