ransomware.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software or malware, which usually takes the data on your device and encrypts it so that you can’t access it unless a ransom is paid. Anyone with important data stored on their device or network is at risk. Ransomware typically spreads through phishing emails or by unconsciously visiting an infected website.

Typically, a message is delivered that provides payment details and a timeline to pay before the data is erased completely. Some people pay to have their data restored at a huge cost but that only makes them an even greater target for future malware attacks as they have been identified as someone that will pay the ransom. And there is no guarantee that people will recover their data if they pay the ransom. Another problem is that every individual that pays to recover their data is directly funding the development of the next generation of this malware. As a result, it continues to develop, with more sophisticated variants and the costs continue to rise.

Kotar Data Recovery strongly recommends to avoid ransomware with digital security best practices. However, sometimes mistakes are made. In such circumstances, stay calm and contact a data recovery specialist for advice and recovery options. Kotar Data Recovery has been successfully recovering data from different types of ransomware. While no two ransomware cases are the same, we exhaust each and every option to recover encrypted data quickly and reliably.
