Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then demand a separate ransom for not posting this information on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee that stolen files have been completely deleted by the hacker. Actually, in numerous cases the hacker has limited say over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for engaging the guidance of legal counsel, conducting an audit on which files were compromised, and performing the mandated alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
