With that in mind, we do not prevent you from searching for other employment. Please take care of yourselves, your loved ones, and have a happy New Year,&#8221; the message said.<\/p>\n<p>A former The Heritage Company employee told KATV that they&#8217;ve lost any faith the company is going to ever recover from the ransomware attack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of us are convinced that they&#8217;re not going to reopen. I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;re just buying time because they know as soon as they&#8217;re not going to reopen we&#8217;re going to have to get a settlement and I think they just don&#8217;t want us to take them to court,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/katv.com\/news\/local\/shuttering-telemarketing-company-hit-by-cyber-attack-wishes-employees-happy-new-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">the employee told KATV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Similar cases<\/h3>\n<p>What happened to The Heritage Company is not an isolated incident. Over the past two years, there have been many cases where smaller companies decided to shut down for good, lacking the funds to pay a ransom demand to get their data back or lacking the funds needed to rebuild their IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in April 2019, doctors at a medical practice office in Michigan decided to shut down their business <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/all-of-records-erased-doctor-s-office-closes-after-ransomware-attack\/508180992\/?refresh=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">and retire one year ahead of schedule<\/a>, rather than deal with the fallout from a ransomware infection.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a second medical office, based in Simi Valley, California, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20191229063121\/https:\/\/www.woodranchmedical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">reached the same conclusion in September 2019<\/a>, deciding to shut down all operations after they were infected with ransomware a month before and lacked the funds to pay the ransom.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
