Should Hackers Be Paid Their Ransomware Demands

Cyber attacks and ransomware are becoming such a big issue that the government may soon step in and make paying ransoms illegal! 🚨💻

Here's why: Back in the day, companies dealing with corruption in other countries were forced to pay bribes to get business done. To stop this, the U.S. passed the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to make paying bribes illegal. 🤝💰 Now, the government is considering similar laws for ransomware payments. Hackers often demand huge sums to restore access, and paying could potentially violate anti-corruption laws if the hackers are state-sponsored! 🇺🇸💼

What’s the solution? The government is talking to insurance companies about making it illegal to insure ransomware payments. If that happens, it could shake up how companies handle cyber threats. 😱🔐

What do you think? Should we outlaw paying ransoms, or is it necessary to protect businesses? 💭 Let us know your thoughts!
