The FBI Does NOT Recommend Paying Up
Mr. Pauli,
Once again you bunk up an article because you didn't read your source correctly. This, or your just remarkably stupid. This is what the FBI's website states:
The FBI doesn’t support paying a ransom in response to a ransomware attack. Said Trainor, “Paying a ransom doesn’t guarantee an organization that it will get its data back—we’ve seen cases where organizations never got a decryption key after having paid the ransom. Paying a ransom not only emboldens current cyber criminals to target more organizations, it also offers an incentive for other criminals to get involved in this type of illegal activity.
Just another left wing idiot who repeats what others tell him, instead of doing research himself and using his own brain to critically come to a conclusion.
So, reread the FBI's web page. The information provided is sound.
