In this video, we discuss the potential consequences of organizations paying ransomware, specifically from a UK government perspective. We explore the hypothetical scenario of an organization being hit by the Conti ransomware and having the financial means to pay the ransom. While this may unlock their systems and maintain business continuity, it also raises questions about the legality of paying ransoms and the potential fallout from doing so. We delve into the potential repercussions of breaking the law and the importance of having robust disaster recovery policies in place to minimize the impact of such attacks. Join us as we explore this complex and timely issue.
