Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers are then able to require a separate ransom in exchange for not posting this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been totally deleted by the TA. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has limited control about who can access the stolen files. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an audit on which files were compromised, and performing the required alerts to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
