Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers are then able to demand an additional payment for not divulging this data or selling it. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee that stolen data have been completely deleted by the TA. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has little say about the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of files were taken, and carrying out the necessary alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
