Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, modern strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers can then demand an extra settlement for not divulging this information or selling it. Unfortunately, there is no method to guarantee that stolen data have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the hacker has limited say about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the guidance of legal counsel, performing an investigation into which files were compromised, and performing the required notifications to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
