• Don't fall for phishing emails related to banking changes or other hot topic issues.
• If you do need to let people go, handle it thoughtfully and securely.

The impact of ransomware on organizations is well-known. Companies can be coerced into making ransom payments. Sensitive customer data can be leaked onto the Dark Web. An impacted organization's IT environment may have to be rebuilt from scratch. The business itself could be forced to close. 

The impact of ransomware to the employees of the impacted organization is not as well known or discussed.
