Jeffrey Kaye
In 2013, while working for a regional IT company, one of our clients was hit with CryptoLocker ransomware. We had 48 hours to meet the ransom demands. Within in 24 hours, I learned about ransomware, bitcoin, ransomware incident response, negotiation with criminals, breach notification, and more. My coworkers had failed to keep the backups running properly and there was NOTHING TO RESTORE. I successfully negotiated with the attackers for more time and a reduced ransom, obtained the necessary Bitcoin and the knowledge of how to use it, paid the ransom, decrypted the files, and restored the customer back to 100% (minus the ransom, a week without key systems, and other big bills.) In the 11 years since that first incident, I been called on to respond to dozens of cyber attacks. Of those attacks, no other company has had to pay the ransom, because the backups were fully restored. We're all at risk of being the victims of a successful attack. It would be my great pleasure to know that your company is prepared for such an incident. I'm here to help.
