CISA has released the fact sheet Protecting Sensitive and Personal Information from Ransomware-Caused Data Breaches to address the increase in malicious cyber actors using ransomware to exfiltrate data and then threatening to sell or leak the exfiltrated data if the victim does not pay the ransom. These data breaches, often involving sensitive or personal information, can cause financial loss to the victim organization and erode customer trust.

The fact sheet provides information for organizations to use in preventing and responding to ransomware-caused data breaches. CISA encourages organizations to adopt a heightened state of awareness and implement the recommendations listed in this fact sheet to reduce their risk to ransomware and protect sensitive and personal information.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released guidance to help government and private sector organizations prevent data breaches resulting from ransomware double extortion schemes.

CISA's fact sheet includes best practices for preventing ransomware attacks and protecting sensitive information from exfiltration attempts.
The federal agency issued these recommendations in response to most ransomware gangs using data stolen from their victims' networks as leverage in ransom negotiations under the threat of publishing the stolen info on dedicated leak sites.

"Ransomware is a serious and increasing threat to all government and private sector organizations, including critical infrastructure organizations," CISA said.
"All organizations are at risk of falling victim to a ransomware incident and are responsible for protecting sensitive and personal data stored on their systems."
