Ransomware is a type of malicious software (malware) that prevents accessing computer files, systems, or networks and demands payment of a ransom for their return. Ransomware attacks can cause costly disruptions to operations and the loss of critical information and data. Victims usually pay these ransoms, under the impression that it is the quickest way to restore their network, particularly if the cyber criminals are also threatening to leak stolen data. But all this means is that the attack cycle continues, with ransomware groups using their ill-gotten gains to finance more ambitious attacks. Make your strongest argument why companies should not disclose these attacks and be allowed to pay ransomware demands.
