United on Ransomware payments
Interesting.
The guidance is arguably what should be done anyway
It’s not banned - just seriously discouraged.
Is this now a risk you must tackle rather than offload to insurance? Good.
“The NCSC does not encourage, endorse or condone paying ransoms, and it’s a dangerous misconception that doing so will make an incident go away or free victims of any future headaches. In fact, every ransom that is paid signals to criminals that these attacks bear fruit and are worth doing.”
