In April, The Register highlighted a concerning trend among UK businesses, where many take their chances and opt to pay cybercriminals a ransom to regain access to their data after an attack, rather than investing in stronger cybersecurity in the first place. While this might seem like a quick fix, it increases the problem by encouraging more cybercrime and leaving companies vulnerable to future attacks. The article explores why some businesses take this risky approach, often due to proper cybersecurity's perceived complexity and cost. Experts warn that paying ransoms is a dangerous strategy, leading to repeated breaches and potentially even greater losses down the line. It’s a clear reminder that investing in solid cybersecurity measures is crucial for keeping your business safe.
