Cryptie Helps You Through Ransom
Going through a ransom is difficult. We're here to make sure you get to the end of it.
Ransoms are unfamiliar territory for most people who become victims of one. The stress of the situation is further exacerbated by confusion about technical terms, complexity of digital payment methods, and the apprehension around having to communicate with a ransom group. In the majority of cases, both individuals and businesses find themselves uncertain about the appropriate course of action.
This is the reason we have introduced our Cryptie Ransom service. It is specifically designed to assist our clients in navigating a ransom situation as smoothly as possible. Below is a concise checklist of actions to take if you are currently facing a ransom situation.
For Individuals
- Stay calm, understand the perpetrators are more interested in money than in harming you. Do not let this stressful situation affect your health.
- Take pictures of the ransom message, if it's ransomware, shut the infected machine down. This prevents the ransomware from encrypting more files.
- Ransomers are use to waiting days or weeks for payment, do not feel like you need to fix the issue on the day it happens.
- Assess the data that you stand to lose if your files cannot be recovered. Are you able to accept the loss of this data? If so, we recommend performing a factory reset on your device to remove the ransomware.
In cases where you'd prefer to pay the ransom, Cryptie makes this as easy as possible for you. You can contact us using the contact form below.
For Businesses
- Upon identification of ransomware, initiate an Incident Response immediately. Your IT team should document the specific type of ransomware and ensure it is confined to the endpoints where it was detected. If your business lacks an IT team, capture images of the ransom message and power down any infected devices.
- The Incident Response team should build a timeline that traces how the devices were infected. Upon identification of the attack vector, they should implement controls to prevent further infections.
- At this point, your IT team and business are presented with a decision. The devices infected by ransomware can be reset to eliminate any traces of the malware. However, this may not always be feasible and could lead to data loss if backups were not maintained. The business might opt to pay the ransom in the hope of receiving the decryption key.
