What Is a Ransomware Attack?
A ransomware attack involves the use of malware to encrypt systems and data, rendering them inaccessible. Attackers then demand a ransom for the decryption key, enabling the victim to regain access to their data. Payments are often requested in cryptocurrency for its anonymity and reduced traceability. Ransom amounts can vary, ranging from minor sums to significant financial demands.
Methods To Recover Ransomware Encrypted Files
Caution: Resist the temptation to pay a ransom, as doing so could expose you to scams or legal liabilities, depending on the laws in your country.

2. File Recovery Service
When full recovery isn’t feasible or cost-effective, we offer a service to repair specific file types at a lower cost.
- Unlike Full Data Recovery, where we reverse engineer the decryption key, we repair files by removing the hacker-placed code.
- This technical process leverages our experience in dealing with ransomware, enabling us to identify and remove the encryption key, allowing access to the file content.
- This method is effective for various ransomware families, with a 95+% success rate in recovering specific file formats such as MDF, LDF, VHDX, VMDK.
The attainability of this process is rooted in the fact that a significant portion of ransomware encryption software, employed by hackers, typically encrypts only the header of the file. The vital data within the MDF, LDF, VHDX, VMDK, BAK, ZIP file remains untouched and intact.
Our experienced engineers rely on years of expertise in dealing with ransomware. They employ advanced techniques to scrutinize specific patterns and conduct in-depth analysis, allowing them to identify and eliminate the code (encryption key). This intricate process ensures that you can regain access to the content of the file securely and effectively.
We have a 95+% success in recovering specific files formats and our services are guaranteed for your peace of mind.

How can you Recover MDF ransomware infected file?
To understand how to recover MDF ransomware-infected files, it’s crucial to grasp the process that occurs when a file is compromised by ransomware.
When a file is infected with ransomware, the attacker typically utilizes decryption software and embeds a decryption key into the header of each file. The file itself remains intact, and if the decryption key placed by the hacker is successfully removed, the data can be extracted from the file.
At Fast Data Recovery, our expertise lies in accessing the infected file and providing guidance on the likelihood of successful recovery, with a success rate typically exceeding 95%. We specialize in identifying and removing the decryption key, enabling the extraction of valuable data from the affected files.
Our experienced team employs advanced techniques to analyse and neutralize the impact of the ransomware, ensuring a comprehensive recovery process. If you’ve fallen victim to the MDF ransomware, reaching out to Fast Data Recovery can significantly increase the chances of restoring your valuable data.

Questions to Ask and our expert tips to help secure your system
In order to protect yourself from the ransomware attack, you will need to answer the following questions.
We raise important points and a tip to bring an understanding to the tricks and threats imposed by cyber criminals.
- Q: How did the threat actors penetrate your system?.
- Ans: Only 5% of ransomware comes from emails and websites.
- Why did the threat actors will able to penetrate your antivirus, firewall, and infect your backups?.
- TIP: Hackers never use illegal software which means traditional antivirus, firewalls and network monitoring RMM solutions will not detect the actions of the cyber attacker.
- How long have they been on your network before they launched their attack?.
- Tip: Most attackers will infect your system in 2-4 weeks after they have gained access to your network.
- What did the hackers do to your network?
- Why did the hackers stayed inside your network for couple of weeks before launching their attack?.
- Tip: Once they have gained access through a comprised device on your network, hackers implement a MIMT (Man In the Middle Attack) to sniff your network traffic and further gain access to your domain controller.
Once they reach your domain controller, they will utilise your group policy and place a timebomb, keylogger and backdoor to every device on your network.
This process will enable the hackers to go through every device and infect the data on devices with valuable data.
- Tip: Once they have gained access through a comprised device on your network, hackers implement a MIMT (Man In the Middle Attack) to sniff your network traffic and further gain access to your domain controller.
- Have they stolen any data?
- Tip: Yes in some cases they do, we can assist in finding out if data has been comprised.
- Are the hackers still on my system?.

- Tip: No, they are most likely still on your network and not limited to the infected device
- Will removing the ransomware from my system may comprise the recovery of my data?
- Tip: We do not recommend removing the ransomware as some ransomware families leave important files that can aid us to recover your data easier.
Understanding the questions and tips provided above are your best chance to protect yourself from a reinfection.
What to do?
Please do not panic or try to reinvent the wheel. We have been working on cases like yours for a decade and we will remove the guess work resulting in a safe and secure network.
Please call us or continue to read further by checking our Ransomware Prevention & Audit and Should I Be Concerned About Ransomware tabs below for more information
Knowledge is power! – It is essential to understand the facts behind ransomware to better protect yourself
Ransomware occurs on a system due to weak security of some sort. If you are reading this you are properly a victim!
Here is some information you need to understand and take seriously.
We have raised few questions under What Should I do tab above we suggest to check out first.
How did your system became comprised and infected with ransomware?
- Cybercriminals will run a BOT (A bot is a form of an automated scan searching the internet for valurnerable network systems and attempt to comprise its security)
- Once your system vulnerability has been identified, Hackers will buy the comprised list through underground websites (aka as Dark Web)
- The ransomware hackers will use the details to comprise and infect your system with ransomware
- Most often the BOT list is sold to multiple hackers
Have you removed the infected system from your network?
- This is a common mistake!! – isolating the infected system from your network is 50% of the solution.
- Hackers use group policy to distribute ransomware across your network and it remains undetected by most antivirus/malware software.
- Ransomware time-bomb, backdoor and keyloogers often implemented on your network to allow hackers to gain access to your network especially if you pay the ransom.
Please be warned, once you have been infected, its emanate that you are very likely to get another attack.
We recommend a full security check on your network to identify the penetration point(s) and make sure adequate security is implemented prior to your data recovery
We offer ransomware prevention and ransomware recovery services parallel to ensure your files are recovered on ransomware risk free system without delaying the recovery of your files (our recovery and prevention team work parallel to ensure the prevention and recovery are done simultaneously)
