FAQsFrequently Asked Questions
Ransomware attacks can result in data loss, financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Depending on the severity of the attack and the importance of the encrypted data, organizations and individuals may face significant consequences.
Once cybercriminals obtain financial information, they can engage in various illegal activities to monetize it. This may include making unauthorized purchases, conducting identity theft, selling the information on the dark web, or even using the data for ransom purposes.
Experts generally advise against paying the ransom. Paying does not guarantee the safe return of your files, and it funds criminal activities. It's recommended to report the incident to law enforcement and seek assistance from cybersecurity professionals.
