The UK government's consultation aims to explore the implementation of a total ban on ransomware payments across the public sector, responding to increasing cybercrime.
With ransomware attacks affecting critical services, the consultation will seek input on proposals that could prevent taxpayers from being forced to cover ransom costs.
The government's move to include hospitals, schools, and local authorities in the potential ban signifies an intent to protect public services from cybercriminals.
Running from January 14 to April 8, the consultation reflects a significant shift in how the government plans to address the growing ransomware threat.
