Greedy ransomware crews return for seconds after victims cough up first extortion payments
A Proofpoint survey of UK organizations found that 58 percent of those hit by ransomware paid the initial extortion demand. Among organizations that paid, 22 percent were targeted again by the same or different threat actors seeking additional payments.
Why it matters: UK organizations deciding whether to pay ransoms should understand that capitulation does not guarantee safety; re-extortion rates suggest paying increases ongoing targeting and financial exposure.
