Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then require an extra payment for not publishing this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to prove that exfiltrated data have been totally erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the threat actor has limited control about the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of getting the advice of legal counsel, conducting an inventory of data were taken, and sending the required notifications to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
