Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption tool, modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. TAs can then demand a separate payment for not publishing this information or selling it. Sadly, there is no method to be certain that stolen files have been totally erased by the hacker. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of engaging the advice of legal counsel, performing an investigation into which data were taken, and performing the mandated alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
