The UK government intends to introduce legislation that prohibits public sector entities and critical infrastructure organizations, including local councils, schools, and the National Health Service (NHS), from paying ransoms following ransomware attacks. This measure is designed to decrease the allure of cybercrime and safeguard essential services. Additionally, the government will establish a mandatory reporting mechanism to aid law enforcement in tracking down perpetrators. Businesses outside the scope of this ban must inform the government of their intention to pay a ransom, so as to receive guidance.
