A barristers' chambers hit by a ransomware attack has responded by getting a court order demanding the criminals do not share stolen data - We cannot predict the impact of this court order because cybercriminals have begun to launch more large-scale attacks against Western countries disregarding the United States & European Union efforts on the matter. The most powerful cybercriminal groups engaged in ransomware attacks are concentrated in geographical areas such as Iran and North Korea, with the majority of them based in Russia. All of these countries have one thing in common: they do not enforce U.K. court orders.
