Kaseya Ltd. said it didn’t pay to obtain decryption keys for its customers’ networks after they were hit in a large ransomware attack earlier this month.

“While each company must make its own decision on whether to pay the ransom, Kaseya decided after consultation with experts to not negotiate with the criminals who perpetrated this attack and we have not wavered from that commitment,” the company said in a statement. “We are confirming in no uncertain terms that Kaseya did not pay a ransom – either directly or indirectly through a third party – to obtain the decryptor.”
