Yes, in many cases. Our team analyzes the type of ransomware and explores several approaches: recovering unencrypted files, exploiting known vulnerabilities in the encryption, restoring previous versions of the files. Each case is unique — a free diagnosis allows us to assess the chances of success.

Yes, in a significant number of cases. The possibility of decryption without paying mainly depends on the type of ransomware and the existence of an exploitable cryptographic flaw.

Several recovery paths exist:

  • Public decryption keys — some ransomware has been decrypted by security researchers and agencies like Europol. The No More Ransom platform (nomoreransom.org) centralizes these tools for free.
  • Flaws in cryptographic implementation — some poorly programmed ransomware have vulnerabilities that allow keys to be reconstructed.
  • Shadow Copies (VSS) — if the ransomware has not deleted Windows Shadow Copies, a restoration is possible.
  • Unaffected backups — offline backups, NAS snapshots, or unsynchronized cloud storage.

Our laboratory analyzes each case individually. A diagnosis allows us to determine which ransomware family is involved and what decryption options are available.
