The\r\nrecovery process of Conti ransomware includes identifying the strain and the risk associated with pursuing a\r\nransom payment for data decryption. Please review the information below, or contact our support team, to learn\r\nmore about Conti ransomware recovery, payment and decryption statistics.\r\nHOW MUCH ARE Conti RANSOMWARE RANSOM DEMANDS?\r\nConti targets mid to large size enterprises and ransom amounts are scaled based on the size of the organization and\r\nthe perceived capacity to pay. This group is also known to exfiltrate data, which leads to increased demands.\r\nConti RANSOMWARE: RANSOM AMOUNTS\r\nAverage Conti Ransom Payment (June 2022)\r\n$110,000\r\nHOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM A Conti RANSOMWARE ATTACK?\r\nConti incidents reflect slightly less than average recovery times. The decryptor is fairly straightforward to use and\r\nthe decryption rate depends on the complexity of the network.\r\nhttps://www.coveware.com/conti-ransomware\r\nPage 1 of 6\n\nWHAT DATA RECOVERY RATE IS EXPECTED WHEN PAYING FOR A Conti\r\nRANSOMWARE DECRYPTOR?\r\nThe data recovery rate for Conti is high and the tool is fairly straightforward to use.\r\nImmediate CONTI Ransomware Help\r\nContact us for help assessing your case. Assessments are free and all information shared is treated as confidential.\r\nFor immediate assistance contact us\r\nConti RANSOMWARE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\r\n1. ARE THERE FREE CONTI DECRYPTION TOOLS?\r\nThe majority of active Conti ransomware variants can not be decrypted by any free tool or software. If you submit\r\na file example to us, we will have a look for free and let you know. There are also good free websites that you can\r\nupload a sample file to and independently check. You should NOT pay a data recovery firm or any other\r\nservice provider to research your file encryption. They will use the same free resources noted above… so don’t\r\nwaste your money or time!\r\n2. HOW DID I GET INFECTED WITH CONTI RANSOMWARE?\r\nMost Conti ransomware is laid directly by a hacker that has accessed an unprotected RDP port, utilized email\r\nphishing to remote into a network via an employee’s computer, or utilized malicious attachments, downloads,\r\napplication patch exploits or vulnerabilities to gain access to a network.\r\n3. WHAT ARE RECENT CONTI RANSOMWARE FILE EXTENSIONS?\r\nConti extensions are randomized. Encrypted files on a given network will have their own unique extension and a\r\nreadme.txt ransom note will be stored on each host.\r\n4. WHAT DOES A CONTI RANSOM NOTICE LOOK LIKE?\r\nhttps://www.coveware.com/conti-ransomware\r\nPage 2 of 6\n\nThe ransom note is a fairly vague and is comparable to several other variants. The threat actor states\r\nthat the only way to decrypt files is by purchasing a decryptor and they provide a TOR site for\r\ncommunications. Lastly, the group usually exfiltrates data from networks and the note emphasizes\r\nthat the data will be leaked if a payment is not made.\r\nRANSOMWARE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\r\nWHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO PROVIDE?\r\nYou will need to provide information from both the ransom notice and a sample encrypted file. We will schedule a\r\ncall to discuss the severity of the attack, the operability of your company and the likely timeline / cost of\r\nrecovering from the attack. You will also need to provide identifying information on your company, and an\r\nauthorized representative of your company.\r\nHOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?\r\nYou are already being extorted; we don’t think you deserve to pay another large fee. Coveware charges flat per\r\nincident fees. Whether the case lasts one week or three weeks, our fees are flat. We do not charge spreads of fees\r\ntied to the size of the ransom amount. Our fees will never be even close to the amount of the ransom demanded by\r\nthe cyber criminal, and you should be skeptical of why any other service provider would charge a fee that high.\r\nWHAT ABOUT FIRMS THAT HAVE TOLD ME THEY CAN DECRYPT MY FILES\r\nWITHOUT PAYING THE HACKER?\r\nYou should be extremely skeptical of any data recovery firm that claims they can decrypt ransomware. Typically\r\nthey are just paying the cyber criminal without your knowledge and pocketing the difference between the ransom\r\namount and what they will charge you. Know the facts before you engage. If the ransomware IS decryptable, the\r\ntool can be found for free. If not, purchasing a key from the cyber criminal is the only way to unlock your files.\r\nhttps://www.coveware.com/conti-ransomware\r\nPage 3 of 6\n\nWhile Coveware does not condone paying cyber criminals, we recognize it is often the only choice if backups are\r\nnot available or have become compromised as well. If that is the case, you deserve an honest, transparent\r\nexperience.\r\nWILL THE RANSOMWARE PAYMENT BE SUCCESSFUL?\r\nThere is no guarantee that paying the ransom will result in a working decryption tool being delivered. However,\r\nCoveware believes that data aggregation can help customers make the most informed data-driven decisions. Since\r\nwe handle lots of cases of the same ransomware types, we are able to share our experiences and help customers\r\ndecide how to proceed.\r\nHOW DO I UNLOCK MY FILES?\r\nIf the ransomware payment is successful, a decryption tool \u0026 key is provided by the hacker that can be used to\r\nmanually decrypt your files.\r\nHOW DO I PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN?\r\nThere are some common security mis-configurations that lead to a ransomware attack. We can share some tips and\r\nresources for preventing future attacks, but encourage companies to perform a full forensic review or security\r\nassessment as soon as possible. Consistent investment in security IT is the best antidote to preventing future\r\nattacks.\r\nWHY CHOOSE COVEWARE RANSOMWARE RECOVERY SERVICES?\r\nFREE\r\nRANSOMWARE ASSESSMENT\r\nProvide a few details from the ransom notice, an example encrypted file and details of the operability of your\r\ncompany and budget/time.
