UK Proposes Ransomware Payment Ban for Public Sector

UK shows leadership in a proposal to ban ransomware payments for public entities like healthcare, education, government services and other national critical infrastructure! This is a great step forward to undermine all ransomware attacks.

Such a strategy will choke the very motivation of cybercriminals, to deter them from spending the effort in targeting these institutions. If criminals know they will not be paid by certain entities, they will move on to other victims who will.

This is a good start, but we must expand it. Yes, it seems scary but it will work.
