What now?

Your actions right now can make all the difference. Here’s how to respond effectively:

Isolate the problem: Disconnect affected devices from the network immediately. This helps prevent the ransomware from spreading to other systems.

Gather evidence: Save ransom messages, error codes, and logs. This information will help experts assess the attack and identify the best course of action.

Notify your team: Inform key staff about the attack to avoid accidental actions that could worsen the situation. Limit access to infected systems.

Contact us today: With our experience in ransomware recovery, we’ll work with you to contain the attack, recover your data, and secure your systems against future threats.

What not to do

In the midst of panic following a ransomware attack, it’s easy to make mistakes that’ll worsen the situation. Here’s what not to do.

Don’t pay the ransom: Paying the ransom may feel like a quick fix, although there’s still no guarantee you’ll retrieve your data.

DIY fixes: Troubleshooting the ransom yourself can cause further damage. Not only this, but you’re wasting valuable time where you could be informing your IT provider, who’re better equipped to deal with the incident.

Don’t delay: Time is of the essence. The longer the ransomware lingers, the more it spreads and the harder it becomes to recover your systems. Act now.
