Paying the ransom means your data still gets leaked and now you're out of money and embarrassed.
Why would they ever, ever, delete the data?
- senderista 5mo agoBecause if they leak then nobody will pay the ransom in the future?

- SoftTalker 5mo agoIf paying the ransom doesn't stop your data getting leaked, nobody will pay the ransom. There is a rational basis for the ransomers to follow through with the deletion. Even the mob did provide "protection" when they coerced you into paying for it.

- nativeit 5mo agoThis sounds like a naive presumption. Are ransomware distributors well known for operating within strict hierarchies bound by culturally-ingrained traditions, or acting in the best interests of their own “greater good”? Last I heard, teenagers can deploy ransomware with minimal technical knowledge or skill.
