Ransomware picture question

<< < (2/2)

Jethro Bodine:
Testdisk may also be useful , but the same proviso that Samson mentions will still apply.

The latest version includes QPhotoRec .

But Recuva is probably more "user - friendly" .

Good evening

I have tried data recovery method, and some of the pictures i recovered, about 10%.

I am working with my brother now to brute force it. he says he has done it multiple times.
he runs his own security firm and is a big family guy, I talked to him on Sunday and hoping to receive his instructions today.
so once i figure out if it is actually possible or not i will update.

This is a new virus that is ou and is being sent through email as a doc or other formats claiming to be in invoice. i had a customer who got hit by it.

Once the files are encrypted there is no way to decrypt them yet.

So since the files where lost I just blew the machine away and did a fresh install to be sure that there was no traces left. Since it is a new virus there is a very very good chance that not all traces of it will be caught just yet.
