Ransomware: keep communicating calmly and clearly

The scenario

What happens

One morning, the systems stop working. Files have been encrypted and a message appears on the screens in which criminals are demanding a ransom. Staff cannot access their work and do not know what to tell customers. Customers and partners soon realise that something is wrong. They call, email and ask for an explanation. At the same time, it is not yet clear exactly what has happened or whether any data has been stolen. There is a need for a single, clear line of communication, so that nobody communicates the wrong information on their own initiative.
