Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate information. TAs can then require a separate ransom in exchange for not publishing this data on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no way to be certain that stolen data have been completely deleted by the threat actor. Actually, in numerous instances the threat actor has little say over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the guidance of legal counsel, performing an inventory of files were taken, and sending the mandated notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
