Is paying the ransom a good idea to recover files encrypted by ransomware, or are there better alternatives?
Paying the ransom to recover files encrypted by ransomware is generally discouraged. There is no guarantee that paying the ransom will result in the decryption of your files, and it can also encourage further criminal activities. It is recommended to explore alternatives such as restoring files from backups, utilizing decryption tools if available, or seeking assistance from cybersecurity professionals.
