Use Case: Timely, calibrated, phased external media communication in the event of Ransomware attack incident response

Use Case: Timely, calibrated, phased and timely external #mediacommunication in the event of #ransomwareattack #incidentresponse to retain the confidence of the customers and protecting the #brand image of the victim organisation.

While victim organisation re-opened all shutdown stores, the company's website is still down and displaying an error. #websitedefacement?

Concerned #ransomwaregang added London Drugs to its extortion portal, claiming the #cyberattack and threatening to publish data, further stating that negotiations to pay ransom have failed (screenshot of extortion portal enclosed).

Interestingly, victim organisation is firm on not paying the ransom demand, while acknowledging that the gang may leak stolen data, some of which may contain employee information on the #DarkWeb. Further proactively notified all current employees and provided 24 months of “complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services”.
