Kansas Heart Hospital fell victim to a ransomware attack on May 18 and chose to pay the ransom attackers were demanding. But then the hospital was told that to regain full access to files, it would have to pay an even bigger ransom.

The outbreak follows a surge in ransomware attacks against organizations of all sizes, as well as individuals. Security experts say it’s up to every individual victim whether to pay a ransom.”]
