Has anyone successfully paid a ransom to recover their data, and what were the outcomes?
Paying a ransom to recover data is generally not recommended due to various reasons, such as there is no guarantee that paying the ransom will result in successful data recovery, it can encourage further criminal activity, and may also violate laws and regulations. Organizations and individuals are advised to focus on prevention and preparedness measures, such as regular data backups, cybersecurity measures, and incident response planning, to mitigate the risks associated with ransomware and data breaches.
