Ransomware: To Pay Or Not To Pay?

If you are hit with a ransom attack, should you pay the ransom?

Warwick Levy runs the independent fashion brand Lonely Kids Club, and when hackers hijacked the brand’s Instagram account, they also took control of its key e-commerce channel. Warwick was told he can have it back “if he did this one thing…” but the ransom demanded was a textbook case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t…
