Despite warnings since 2014, many individuals and organizations continue to suffer ransomware infections. The FBI does not condone payment of ransom, says Christopher Stangl, section chief of the FBI’s Cyber Division. “The FBI reviews reported ransomware threats regardless of the loss amount,” officials at its Cyber Division say. Most of the top cybercriminal actors that we are aware of are located outside of the U.S., which makes arresting many of them much more difficult. On April 29, the FBI issued yet another ransomware alert urging victims not to pay ransoms.”]
