No More Ransom was launched on 25 July 2016, by the Dutch National Police, Europol, Intel Security and Kaspersky Lab, introducing a new level of cooperation between law enforcement and the private sector to fight ransomware together. The project’s objectives are supported by Eurojust and the European Commission, demonstrating the EU’s concern about the growing threat of ransomware.
