Don't pay. Diagnose first.
Many victims pay ransoms for keys that never arrive. Our process starts with strain identification — WannaCry, Petya, Ryuk, LockBit, Phobos and dozens more — because each family has different weaknesses, free decryptors, or partial-repair possibilities.
- ✓Strain identification
- ✓Free-decryptor matching
- ✓Partial file repair
- ✓Shadow-copy extraction
- ✓Server & NAS incidents
- ✓Post-attack hardening advice
First 30 minutes after attack
- 1.Isolate the machine from network and Wi-Fi — pull the cable.
- 2.Do NOT delete the ransom notes — they identify the strain.
- 3.Don't reinstall, format, or run "cleaner" tools.
- 4.Photograph the ransom screen and call us immediately.
How your recovery runs
- 1Forensic image taken; original media sealed and preserved.
- 2Strain ID + decryptor database match + key-recovery attempts.
- 3File-carving and header repair for partially encrypted media.
- 4Verified restore + hardening checklist so it never repeats.
Ransomware questions, answered
Not before a professional assessment. Many strains have free decryptors, and some "encryption" is partially reversible. Paying funds crime and frequently yields no working key. Let us assess first — it's free.
Honestly, no — modern strains with proper key management can't be brute-forced. But between decryptors, implementation flaws, shadow copies and file repair, a large share of cases recover meaningfully. We'll tell you the truth after analysis.
Absolutely. Ransomware cases run under strict NDA on isolated systems, and recovered media is securely wiped after your 7-day verification window.
Encrypted right now? Every minute matters.
