The Customs and Immigration Division, the Isle of Man Information Commissioner and the Cyber Security Centre for the Isle of Man have published Ransomware and Sanctions Guidance which outlines how criminals use ransomware to fund their activities, what the consequences of a ransomware attack are, how to mitigate the risks and what to do if you are the victim of a ransomware attack.

We want to help prevent you becoming a victim of cybercrime:
What if it happens to you
- Don’t panic
- Follow any procedures in your organisation
- Report to the Cyber Security Centre
- Don’t pay any ransom demand
What the consequences of cybercrime are
- Paying a ransom demand may be a sanctions breach
- Loss or theft of personal data may be a data protection breach
