Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption tool, current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. Hackers can then require an extra payment in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee that stolen data have been completely deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the threat actor has little say about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the guidance of privacy lawyers, conducting an inventory of files were taken, and performing the necessary alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
