If you pay a hacker’s ransom, chances are that they’ll come back for more
The prevailing wisdom in cybersecurity circles is clear: paying a hacker's ransom rarely resolves the issue and often invites further attacks. Security researchers consistently observe that negotiating with extortion rackets is fundamentally unproductive, as there’s no inherent incentive for them to cease operations. This stems from the nature of their business model – repeated exploitation. Recent events, like the Suno breach affecting 55 million users, underscore this reality.
