The answer is not simple, and several governments have rolled back from banning ransomware payments due to the complexities of enforcement and the impact on their industries.

The answer is yes and no, but it depends on the maturity of cybersecurity, and not on politics.

No, Ransomware payments should not be banned until there are alternative options available to organisations that are being hacked.

Yes, ransomware payments should be banned as they encourage cyber attacks.

Until organisations can demonstrate proactive management of cyber risk, banning ransomware payments will provide no meaningful support to companies caught in a cyber attack.
