Ransomware Data Recovery you can trust
Modern ransomware encryption generally can't be broken without the attacker's key, so honest ransomware data recovery means looking for the data the attack didn't reach. We search affected systems for unencrypted copies, recoverable originals, and partially intact files — priced per case after a free evaluation.
About ransomware data recovery
Current ransomware families use well-established encryption, and when it's implemented correctly the files can't be decrypted without the attacker's private key. Anyone who claims they can break that encryption should be treated with caution. Some older or flawed variants do have free decryptors, so the first step is checking No More Ransom (nomoreransom.org), a public project that collects legitimate decryption tools.
Ransomware recovery services work by finding data the attack missed or left behind. Some variants write an encrypted copy and delete the original, leaving the original data in free space until it's overwritten. Volume shadow copies, file system snapshots, and backup files sometimes survive if the attacker failed to destroy them. To work faster, some variants encrypt only parts of each file, so large files such as virtual disks and databases may be partly intact and repairable. Drives or volumes that weren't mounted during the attack may be untouched.
None of these paths is guaranteed, and what's recoverable depends on the variant, how long systems kept running afterward, and what was done since. That's why preserving the affected systems matters. Report the attack to the FBI through the Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov), and involve your incident response provider, insurer, and legal counsel as appropriate. We don't negotiate with attackers or facilitate ransom payments.
What we recover
- ✓Original files left behind in unallocated disk space
- ✓Surviving backups, snapshots, and shadow copies
- ✓Partially encrypted virtual machine and database files
- ✓Unencrypted data on secondary drives and volumes
Common failures we handle
- •Files renamed with a new extension and a ransom note left behind
- •Servers or NAS volumes encrypted across the network
- •Backups deleted or encrypted along with production data
- •Virtual machines or databases that won't start after an attack
Before you send it in: what not to do
- ✕Don't wipe, reformat, or reinstall affected systems — that destroys deleted originals and any surviving snapshots.
- ✕Don't leave infected systems on the network — disconnect them so the encryption can't spread to other machines and backups.
- ✕Don't run random decryptors or cleanup tools — a wrong tool can damage encrypted files beyond repair; check No More Ransom for legitimate ones.
- ✕Don't reconnect backup drives to an infected machine — they can be encrypted too.
- ✕Don't delete the ransom note or encrypted files — they help identify the variant and may be needed later.
How we recover it
Free evaluation of the affected systems
We review which systems were hit, what storage they use, how backups were set up, and what has been done since the attack, then give you a fixed quote to approve before work begins.
Image every affected drive
All drives are copied sector by sector so analysis happens on copies, preserving the originals exactly as they were.
Search for unencrypted data
Engineers look for deleted originals in free space, surviving shadow copies and snapshots, backup files, and volumes the ransomware didn't reach.
Salvage partially encrypted files
Where only parts of large files were encrypted, we analyze virtual disks and databases to rebuild whatever structures and records remain intact.
Verify and return
Recovered data is checked for integrity and returned on a secure return drive, separate from the compromised environment.
