Is a Ransomware Payment Tax Deductible…..

WASHINGTON (AP) – Tax experts say there may be a silver lining when it comes to companies that pay money to recover data stolen in a ransomware attack. Payments to hackers may be tax deductible.

The IRS itself is silent on the subject; it offers no formal guidance on whether a business can deduct ransomware payments. But tax people say a ransomware payment is similar to other crime-related business losses like thefts and break-ins.

At the same time, the FBI has lately been telling businesses targeted by hackers that they shouldn’t pay cybercriminals to recover their data.

Wake Up Song of the Day: Mungo Jerry “In the Summertime“. It’s a “One Hit Wonder Monday” song! For our purposes, defined as a singer or group known for only one song to chart on the U.S. Billboard Top 40. Or, even if a second song is on the chart, it is overwhelmed and generally forgotten because of the success of the “One Hit Wonder”. In 1995, this song by Los Del Rio was a worldwide hit song and dance.
