Who Can Help Me With A Ransomware Attack

Is it illegal to pay ransomware in Canada?

Paying a ransomware demand is legal in Canada. Cybercriminals are strongly discouraged from demanding ransoms from victims. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) recommends against paying ransoms:

• It is not guaranteed that paying the ransom will restore encrypted files.
• The cybercriminal may take the ransom payment and still refuse to provide the decryption key.
• Cybercriminal organizations benefit from ransom payments, which encourage further criminal activity, including ransomware development.
• Indirectly supporting criminal enterprises can have legal and ethical repercussions.
• Law enforcement agencies, such as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), should be notified instead of paying the ransom. In this case, authorities can investigate, gather intelligence, and potentially take action against the perpetrators. Ransomware attacks can also be mitigated by implementing robust cybersecurity practices, regular data backups, and employee awareness training.
