If a ransomware attack occurs, the following steps should be taken:
Isolate the Infection: Disconnect infected systems from the network to prevent further spread. Notify Authorities: Report the attack to relevant authorities and cybersecurity experts. Do Not Pay the Ransom: Paying the ransom does not guarantee data recovery and encourages further attacks. Restore from Backups: Use backups to restore affected systems and data. Conduct a Thorough Investigation: Determine the attack's origin, scope, and impact to prevent future incidents.
