How much does it cost to recover from a Conti ransomware gang s attack?
For the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, so far the cleanup from a December 2020 attack has cost nearly 790,000 pounds ($1.1 million), according to figures obtained by the BBC under freedom of information laws. Of that amount, it reports that $635,000 was spent to stabilize the agency s IT platform.
SEPA is the Scottish government s principal environmental regulator. The nondepartmental public body - meaning it largely operates independently - has a staff of about 1,200.
