Should ransomware victims pay the ransom, or are there better alternatives to recover data?
Paying the ransom to ransomware attackers is generally not recommended for several reasons. There is no guarantee that paying the ransom will result in the recovery of data, and it may also fund further criminal activities. It’s important to explore alternatives such as restoring data from backups, using decryption tools if available, seeking assistance from cybersecurity experts, and reporting the incident to law enforcement agencies.
