While the hackers aren’t getting paid, gigabytes of potential customer data has been leaked. This is a no win scenario.
If you reward bad behavior you get more of it.
Anyone with kids learns this lesson quickly.
The problem is, they’re just going to move on to a new target. You don’t reward scammers either, but they get enough paydays that it’s still worth it.
Never pay ransomeware demands.
