The UK government has launched consultations to explore the possibility of a nationwide ban to prevent operators of critical national infrastructure from succumbing to the demands of ransomware cybercriminals.
In a proposal dated January 14, the Home Office proposed a "targeted ban" on ransomware payments to all public sector bodies and critical national infrastructure, such as energy, health services and local councils, expanding an existing ban on government departments.
