The Nemty Ransomware has outlined plans to create a blog that will be used to publish stolen data for ransomware victims who refuse to pay the ransom. The theory behind this is that companies may be more apt to pay a ransom if it costs less than the possible fines, data breach notification costs, loss of trade and business secrets, tarnishing of brand image, and potential lawsuits for the disclosing of personal data. The new tactic is to steal files from companies before encrypting them. If a victim does not pay the. ransom, then the stolen data will be leaked little-by-little until payment has been made or it has all been released.
