In the wake of the attack on Colonial Gas in the United States (and the fascinating recovery of some of the Bitcoin involved), it is clear that ransom for the control of data is not going away. What happens when this threat evolves into the physical control of critical infrastructure – will we pay, or take a stand? What are the implications of these choices? Join Fasken’s panel of experts as they tackle scenarios ripped from the headlines, looking at issues of legality, ethics, policy, and tactics related to payments to malicious actors for the return of control of critical systems and datasets.
Our panel will discuss issues pertaining to:
- Criminal law implications of payment;
- Disclosure to governments and customers;
- Ransom attacks on SCADA systems and what they could mean; and
- Rapid Response 101 – the legal DOs and DONTs of a ransomware attack
