Bitcoin, secure payments to recover stolen data

“Never pay” is the general advice when it comes to a ransomware attack. But it is not always possible to follow this rule: therefore Coveware, a company has decided to help small businesses to negotiate with cyber criminals to reduce ransom payments by Bitcoins. A ransomware attack can have enormous implications, sometimes forcing companies to dismiss employees or to close.
In a recent attack by a client company, Coveware reduced the ransom of 80% in 36 hours through a secure payment in cryptocurrency.
