The UK will prohibit its public sector, such as its health service and local councils, from paying ransomware in a bid to “smash the cyber criminal business model.”
The UK is moving forward with a ban on its public sector and operators of critical national infrastructure paying ransomware demands.
The proposals released on Tuesday as a result of a public consultation call for a ban on ransomware payments covering all public sector bodies and critical national infrastructure such as energy, health service and local councils — expanding an existing ban on government departments.
Other parts of the proposal include a prevention regime to require victims and businesses not covered by the ban to report when they intend to pay a ransom.
