Once you've gotten rid of the ransomware, a typical recovery procedure requires deleting all encrypted files, possibly even all files in a particular directory or file system. Then you need to restore all the files. There's no point in restoring encrypted files (or malware), so you need to restore the directory or file system to a point in time just before the ransomware attack.
with a dilemma. Do you leave the directory as it was before the infection (throwing away all the work done since then), or try to identify all the encrypted files and restore each one to the point israel mobile database it was encrypted? Imagine how difficult this would be across hundreds of directories and subdirectories that have been modified over many days or weeks.
Many data protection products will have to find a way to solve this problem. Asking a customer to perform hundreds of restores to get their directory back to normal will only increase their incentive to pay the ransom. Everyone agrees that paying the ransom only entraps the victim in a continuous cycle of fraudulent activity, so this is a problem that needs to be addressed. So now is the time to reach out to your backup vendor and ask them how they would solve this problem. Even if they say, “We have no idea,” it’s better to find out now than to find out in the middle of an attack.
