SHOULD YOU NEGOTIATE WITH A RANSOMWARE OPERATOR?
A business just got hit with ransomware. Files encrypted, data stolen, ransom note posted, and a threat actor waiting to get paid. What's your move?
This is a simulated ransomware negotiation built from tactics we've seen used against real businesses. You get to decide how this plays out — pay, negotiate, refuse, or don’t engage at all. Every choice could change the stakes and where the conversation ends up. Ready when you are.
This is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, or cybersecurity advice. Real-world ransomware incidents involve legal, regulatory, and operational considerations that go well beyond what's shown here.
