Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption utility, current variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. Hackers are then able to demand an additional payment for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to be certain that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the hacker has limited control about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for seeking the advice of privacy lawyers, conducting an audit on which data were taken, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
