"Valéry: "The first risk is obvious: an undisclosed cyberattack becomes public. If a ransom had been paid to suppress the news, that intent fails. Worse, sensitive information shared during negotiation might be exposed, wrecking any planned communication strategy.""
"Valéry: "In case of a cyberattack, resilience depends on two pillars: IT and communication. As shown in a 2022 Bessé/G.P. Goldstein analysis, 'communication is essential to trust'. If communication appears inconsistent or unprofessional - especially in leaked chat logs - it damages trust. Leaked conversations may also make the victim a target for additional threat actors looking to exploit perceived weakness. It has happened before.""
Organizations must manage crisis communication promptly during cyberattacks to protect stakeholders and preserve trust. Leaks of ransomware negotiations can convert a previously undisclosed incident into public knowledge and nullify attempts to suppress news. Sensitive negotiation details can be exposed and disrupt planned messaging. Resilience requires both strong IT response and consistent, professional communication. Poor or inconsistent communication, particularly through leaked chat logs, erodes trust and can signal weakness. Leaked negotiations may also attract additional threat actors seeking to exploit perceived vulnerabilities. Coordination with internal teams and authorities is essential to mitigate reputational and security impacts.
