How Can UK Or US Courts Protect Your Business From A Ransomware Or Cyber-attack?

For a business realising the awful truth that it has fallen victim to a cyber-attack, there is a lot to do: urgent IT measures to secure assets, investigations, regulatory notifications and carrying out business continuity plans. There are good reasons for a business to consider adding court action to that action list and an increasing number of businesses are doing so. This is because it is possible to use the courts to obtain an injunction (an order prohibiting certain actions) or gather information on the hackers to prevent the further use or disclosure of any stolen data or information and help track the culprits.

Injunctive relief

"It is hard to think of a more egregious example of breach of confidence", a Judge said when granting a permanent injunction to protect information stolen by cyber criminals.
