Ransomware Recovery Services from Datarecovery.com

file of binary code with key, encryption Ransomware attacks are a growing problem for computer users and server administrators. The FBI received between 1,500 and 2,700 ransomware complaints in each of the past 5 years, and each instance of ransomware infection can easily result in thousands of dollars of damages.

For years, we have recovered data for ransomware victims, but recently, we have begun to receive an influx of new cases. The threat will only grow, which is why Datarecovery.com now offers specialized services for ransomware recovery and decryption.

You need fast access to your files, but immediately paying the ransomware creator is not a safe or effective option. Call 1-800-237-4200 today to speak with a malware expert or read on to understand your options.

Types of Ransomware and Data Recovery Options

Ransomware or cryptovirus is a malicious program that blocks access to data by encrypting the victim’s media. It then presents the user with a message, asking for money (usually via a digital currency such as Bitcoin). Unless the victim pays, the data will remain permanently encrypted.

The good news is that some ransomware programs use outdated encryption, some of the encryption techniques have been broken, and some keys and source code have been recovered (often after the creator is arrested) enabling decryption. However, in many cases, ransomware encryption is unbreakable.

If your computer is infected with ransomware, Datarecovery.com can help you restore the affected data. As one of the world’s top data recovery companies, we can assist malware victims in several ways:

Determine Recoverability – In many instances, data is recoverable via an alternative method. Our engineers will assess your unique situation to determine the safest and most cost-effective option for restoring your important files.
Data Decryption – We can determine whether a decryption key exists for your ransomware infection or if one can be created. If decryption is feasible, we can perform the process safely, returning your systems to a functional state.

As every case is different, we cannot guarantee that a decryption method exists for your case without performing an evaluation.

How is Ransomware Installed On My Computer?

Ransomware is installed on your system when you open an infected file. Executables (.exe extension on Windows computers), or files with some sort of execution method, are the most susceptible. For example a Word document (.doc or .docx) may run a macro that allows the cryptovirus to start its process.
