Note that this is not an official statement, this is something that an agent at a conference:

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/10/28/did-the-fbi-real... has the official statement:

  The FBI doesn't make recommendations to companies; instead, the Bureau explains
  what the options are for businesses that are affected and how it's up to
  individual companies to decide for themselves the best way to proceed.
  That is, either revert to back up systems, contact a security
  professional, or pay.
