SOS Ransomware: get a response within the hour
A specialised service from Recoveo, the French leader in data recovery.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts a user’s or organisation’s files, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid for the decryption key. Attackers may also threaten to release the stolen data if the ransom is not paid, a tactic known as double extortion.
Over the past two years, ransomware attacks have evolved and intensified. In 2022, ransomware was involved in 25% of all data breaches according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations report.
Several key trends emerged during 2021 and 2022. Supply chain attacks, where attackers target not just a single victim but a network of companies, have increased. Double extortion has become more common, with attackers exfiltrating data before encrypting it. Ransomware as a Service (RaaS), where attackers rent ready-to-use ransomware platforms, is also on the rise.
These trends are expected to continue into 2023 and beyond, with attack techniques continuing to evolve and the number of attacks likely to increase. Recoveo, via its Sos Ransomware service, is at your side to deal with these new threats.
Our recovery process
We have over 20 years’ experience in data recovery. Call on the n°1 service, our expertise enables us to provide you with a very high level response. We have cutting-edge knowledge of the different types of ransomware and the techniques used to combat them.
Definition of the technical scope and priorities to be recovered during a technical telephone interview. The first phase in effective data recovery.
We take care of your storage media. We carry out systematic cloning so as not to damage the evidence in the event of an investigation.
Extraction of priority data, validity testing and creation of a list of recovered files. Then secure restoration and resumption of activities.
If you are infected by ransomware, here are a few warning signs:
- Changing file extensions: Ransomware generally encrypts your files and changes their extension. For example, a file named "photo.jpg" could be renamed to "photo.jpg.locky".
- Increased processor activity: Ransomware can cause an increase in processor activity when it encrypts your files.
- Suspicious activity on your computer: If your computer behaves in an unusual way, for example if programs close by themselves or if your system is slower than usual, this could be a sign of a ransomware infection.
- Ransom notes: Ransomware generally displays a ransom note on your screen once your files have been encrypted. This demand may take the form of a pop-up window or a text file dropped into your folders.
Please note that although these signs may indicate a ransomware infection, they may also be the result of other computer problems. If you suspect a ransomware infection, we recommend that you contact us.

SOS Ransomware
The Ransomwares we are regularly confronted with.
LockBit made its appearance in 2019. It mainly targets large organisations and uses military-grade encryption technology to hold organisations' IT systems hostage.
The digital enemy to watch out for in 2023... BlackCat ransomware, also known as Alphv ransomware, is considered to be one of the most sophisticated types of malware.
Pysa ransomware has emerged as a major threat in the cyberthreat landscape. It was first reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) due to its increased activity and high impact.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In the face of cyber attacks, this FAQ has been designed to give you clear, concise answers to the most frequently asked questions about ransomware and how we can help. From prevention to data recovery after an attack, find out how to react, recover your data and strengthen your digital defences…
Immediately contact our emergency response team (24/7/365)
If you suspect a ransomware attack, contact the emergency experts immediately on the following numbers:
06 08 68 94 98
01 84 604 112
The on-call team will respond as quickly as possible, usually within 2 hours.
Discuss priority needs and affected technologies.
Reception, Cloning and Diagnosis
The team will immediately begin cloning the affected disks using a secure procedure.
A rapid analysis will be carried out to determine the extent of the damage.
The team will provide an estimate of the chances of successful recovery.
Data Recovery
Affected files will be extracted from servers or NAS systems.
A complete list of recovered files will be compiled.
The customer will validate the recovered files.
The recovered data will be securely returned to the customer.
It is essential to act quickly in the event of a ransomware attack to maximise the chances of successful recovery.
Our offer is based on several criteria:
Capacity: volume of data to be processed (storage media capacity, number of files, etc.)
Technologies: file system, operating system, virtualisation system, backup software, etc.
Responsiveness: two levels of service (on-call or emergency)
Our cost is generally between two and ten times less than the cost of the ransom.
Network isolation: As soon as a computer appears infected, immediately disconnect it from the network and any external storage to prevent the ransomware from spreading.
Identify the infection: Use tools such as ID Ransomware or No More Ransom to determine the type of ransomware and understand how it spreads.
Careful intervention: Avoid any hasty action on servers, such as reformatting or using antivirus software, which could compromise data recovery.
Backup management:
Stop automatic backups: This prevents data being overwritten by corrupted files.
Secure handling of backups: Only use secure, isolated machines to check your backups and avoid restoring to an infected server.
Reacting to sabotaged backups: If your backups have been altered during the attack, stop any equipment involved to prevent further damage.Get help from data recovery experts:
If your backups have failed, a specialist data recovery lab may be a viable solution. The aim is not necessarily to decrypt the infected files, but to find exploitable data from the various storage sources. Each case of attack is unique and requires an audit of the storage systems.
By following these steps, you will maximise your chances of effectively managing a ransomware attack
- Evaluate the data impacted: If storage systems are infected, it is crucial to list and evaluate the data lost. You need to determine the type of files, the criticality of the data, the services and users most affected, and the storage location.
Call in a specialist laboratory: A data recovery laboratory may be able to recover files from servers or backups attacked by ransomware.
The chances of recovery may vary depending on the nature of the ransomware, the actions taken immediately after the attack, and the expertise of the data recovery laboratory consulted. Be careful, as poor handling beforehand can reduce the average recovery success rate by 28%.
