Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption tool, current strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim often try to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then demand an extra settlement in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no method to prove that stolen files have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the hacker has little control about the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the guidance of legal counsel, conducting an inventory of data were stolen, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
