    Proposals aim to protect UK infrastructure from ransomware

    All public sector bodies and critical national infrastructure could be banned from making ransomware payments under new Government proposals designed to combat the cyber crime.

    A Home Office consultation is being launched that will consider expanding the existing ban on government departments making such payments, which are often demanded by cybercriminals to unlock or return files they have accessed after breaking into a computer system.

    The proposals also include a ransomware payment prevention regime, designed to increase the National Crime Agency’s awareness of live attacks and block payments to known criminal groups and sanctioned entities, as well as plans to make it mandatory to report ransomware incidents to boost the intelligence available to law enforcement.
