Crypto-Ransomware Settlement Support
Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Sioux Falls
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that requires a mix of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also requires close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is vital to establish recovery teams that work efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your network staff and restore your network environment quickly and affordably.
Support offered by Progent's ransomware settlement team include:
- Determining the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker
- Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
- Validating the threat actor's decryption tool
- Budgeting a settlement range with the victim and the insurance carrier
- Establishing a settlement and schedule with the TA
- Confirming compliance with anti-money laundering sanctions
- Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA
- Receiving, reviewing, and using the TA's decryptor tool
- If needed, contacting the TA for technical assistance with the decryptor tool
- Isolating affected endpoints to prevent further progress of the attack
- Creating replicas of each compromised device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with cleanup
- Adding anti-virus protection to all clean endpoints
- Restoring data from air-gapped backups or unscathed machines
- Building a clean recovery environment
- Mapping and reconnecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-attack condition
Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption tool, current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to require an extra ransom for not publishing this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to be certain that stolen data have been completely deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many instances the TA has little say over the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for getting the advice of privacy lawyers, performing an audit on which data were taken, and carrying out the necessary alerts to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
