Ransomware gang threatens to leak data if victim contacts FBI, police

The Ragnar Locker ransomware group is warning that they will leak stolen data from victims that contact law enforcement authorities, like the FBI. The group has previously hit prominent companies with ransomware attacks, demanding millions of dollars in ransom payments. The threat also applies to victims contacting data recovery experts to attempt decryption and conduct the negotiation process. Governments worldwide have strongly advised against paying ransoms as doing so is not guaranteed to protect networks from data leaks or future attacks. Ransomware victims are instead encouraged to contact the local FBI field office.”]
