Datarecovery.com Offers Local Help for Victims of Ransomware VirusesRansomware is malicious software that blocks access to files until computer users pay a specific amount of money. Typically, ransomware encrypts the user’s files, completely preventing access. By using next-generation encryption technologies, ransomware programmers completely prevent file access with no chance of decryption via standard methods.
The computer user is then forced to pay through bitcoin or a similar untraceable currency. Common examples of ransomware include Cryptowall, CryptoLocker, KeRanger, and RSA4096. In most cases, ransomware executes when a user opens an apparently innocuous file from an email attachment or website.
Datarecovery.com is the first company offering targeted services to help ransomware victims recover their files, ideally without paying the ransom.
“There are three primary ways that we can help victims,” says Ben Carmitchel, CEO of Datarecovery.com, Inc. “The first is to determine if the data might be recoverable in another way. The second is to determine if the data can be decrypted by means other than paying the ransom. Finally, if all else fails, we can help users obtain bitcoin, pay the ransom, and recover their files.”
