Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often try to exfiltrate files. TAs can then require an additional settlement for not divulging this data on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been completely deleted by the threat actor. In fact, in many instances the TA has little say about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy lawyers, performing an investigation into which files were compromised, and carrying out the mandated notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
