A message from our Laboratory Director

Jean Camille Lebreton

“Regardless of the scale or criticality of a ransomware attack, our data recovery solutions are designed to maximise probability of restoring data as quickly as possible and with a high level of effectiveness. We strongly recommend to contact SOS Ransomware as early as possible in order to optimise recovery operations,whether or not discussions have already taken place with the malicious third party. We offer an initial,no-binding consultation to help us assess the situation, define priority actions to take and explore available recovery alternatives that are faster and more cost-effective for you. Furthermore, it is important to stress that paying the ransom provides you with no guarantee of obtaining a functional decryption key, nor restoring access to the compromised data.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This FAQ provides clear and concise answers to the most frequently asked questions about ransomware, decryption, and how we intervene.

Contact our emergency response unit immediately (24/7/365)

In the event of a suspected ransomware attack, contact our emergency experts immediately using the numbers below:

  • +33 6 08 68 94 98

  • +33 1 84 60 41 12

The on-call team will respond as quickly as possible, usually within a maximum of 2 hours.
Discuss priority needs and the affected technologies.

Reception, Cloning and Diagnosis

  • The team immediately begins cloning the affected drives using a secure procedure.

  • A rapid analysis is carried out to determine the extent of the damage.

  • An assessment of the chances of successful recovery is then provided.

Data Recovery

  • Affected files are extracted from servers or NAS systems.

  • A comprehensive list of recovered files is produced.

  • The client validates the recovered files.

  • Recovered data is securely returned to the client.

Acting quickly in the event of a ransomware attack is essential to maximise probability of successful data recovery.

Our service offering is structured around several key criteria:

  • Capacity: the volume of data to be processed (storage capacity, number of files, etc.).

  • Technologies: file systems, operating systems, virtualisation platforms, backup software, and related technologies.

  • Responsiveness: three service levels are available — on-call, emergency or standard.

Our cost is generally between two and ten times lower than the cost of paying the ransom.

Key steps to take in the event of a ransomware attack

Network isolation

As soon as a computer appears to be infected, immediately disconnect it from the network and from any external storage devices to prevent the ransomware from spreading.

Infection identification

Use tools such as ID Ransomware or No More Ransom to identify the type of ransomware involved and better understand its behaviour and propagation method.

Caution during intervention

Avoid any hasty actions on servers, such as reformatting or running antivirus tools, as these actions may compromise data recovery efforts.

Backup management

  • Stop automatic backups
    This prevents clean data from being overwritten by corrupted or encrypted files.

  • Secure handling of backups
    Only use trusted, isolated systems to check backups, and never restore data onto an infected server.

  • Response to compromised backups
    If backups have been altered during the attack, immediately shut down the affected systems to prevent further damage.

Engage data recovery experts

If your backups are unusable, a specialised data recovery laboratory can provide a viable alternative. The objective is not necessarily to decrypt infected files, but to identify and recover usable data from various storage sources.
Each ransomware incident is unique and requires a thorough audit of the storage environment.

By following these steps, you significantly increase your ability to manage a ransomware attack effectively and maximise your chances of successful data recovery.

 

Assess impacted data

If storage systems have been compromised, it is essential to identify and assess the affected data. This includes determining file types, data criticality, the most impacted services and users, as well as the storage locations involved.

Engage a specialised laboratory

A data recovery laboratory may be able to retrieve files from servers or backup systems affected by a ransomware attack.

Recovery success rates may vary depending on the type of ransomware involved, the actions taken immediately after the attack, and the expertise of the data recovery laboratory consulted. Caution is required, as improper handling at an early stage can reduce the average recovery success rate by up to 90%.
