One of my sites has been taken down by ransomware. Just like Frank Sinatra Jr.

The hackers want $6000 to restore it. They will unencrypt all files.

I have an office insurance policy ... would this in any way be covered under our equipment insurance?

Do you know what ransomware it specifically is and/or the group behind it? Search with any information you have, as there may be online decryption solutions already out there from white hats that have cracked the encryption and made the information available to many vendors and sites.

Examples:
https://noransom.kaspersky.com/
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/list-ranso...ptor-tools

Many people do not know these sites exist and may have the information they need to unlock the data for free.

Good luck.
