What are the Legal Implications from a Ransomware Attack? |
Texte |
Picture the scene: you are the chief counsel at a large, multinational corporation, and as you attempt to log on to your system on Monday morning, you notice that your email box isn't updating, and you can't log on to your computer using the company VPN. You then discover that others in the organization are having similar issues.Soon after, you receive a frantic call from the company CSO who explains that the organization has been hit by ransomware and the attackers sent a ransom note demanding a huge payment within three days–and if payment is not received, all of the organization's private data will be published online and made accessible to anyone. Ransomware attacks are targeting every industry globally, including highly regulated industries such as government and healthcare. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of ransomware attacks has drastically increased. Security Magazine reports a 72 percent increase in the number of ransomware attacks since the beginning of the pandemic. Evidence suggests that having employees working remotely significantly increases the risk of a successful ransomware attack. |
