Files encrypted by ransomware? Do not pay the ransom. We specialize in ransomware recovery for Long Island businesses and homeowners, restoring your files and systems without funding criminals.
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment for the decryption key. Paying the ransom is risky: there is no guarantee you will get your files back, and you fund future attacks. We take a different approach. First, we identify the ransomware variant. Many have known decryption tools available through the No More Ransom project. If decryption is possible, we recover your files without payment. If not, we restore from backups or use data recovery techniques. Our Long Island ransomware recovery team has helped dozens of businesses and individuals recover without paying a cent.
When ransomware strikes, speed matters. We immediately contain the infection to prevent it from spreading to other computers on your network. We disconnect affected machines, identify the infection vector, and scan all other systems. After containment, we clean the ransomware from affected machines, restore the operating system, and recover files from backups or decryption tools. For Long Island businesses, we work after hours and on weekends to minimize the impact on your operations.
After recovery, we implement defenses to prevent a repeat attack. This includes setting up proper backup systems with offline copies that ransomware cannot reach, configuring email filtering to block malicious attachments, deploying endpoint protection with ransomware-specific defenses, and training your team to recognize phishing emails. For Long Island businesses, we also implement network segmentation to limit the blast radius if ransomware ever gets through your defenses again.
Ransomware recovery on Long Island ranges from $300 to $1,500 depending on the severity, number of affected machines, and recovery method. Single-computer recovery with known decryption tools starts at $300. Business recovery involving multiple machines, backup restoration, and network remediation ranges from $500 to $1,500. This is almost always less than the ransom demanded. Call (516) 407-8111 immediately if you have been hit.
We strongly advise against paying. Approximately 40% of organizations that pay the ransom never get their files back. Paying also funds criminal organizations and marks you as a willing payer, making you a target for future attacks. Let us assess your situation first. In many cases, we can recover your files without payment through decryption tools, backup restoration, or data recovery techniques. Call (516) 407-8111 before making any decisions.
For Long Island businesses, we offer emergency ransomware response. Call (516) 407-8111 and we prioritize your case. We can typically begin remote containment within 1-2 hours of your call. On-site response for businesses in Nassau and Suffolk County is available same-day. Speed is critical to prevent the ransomware from spreading to additional systems. Do not try to fix it yourself as that can make recovery harder.
Possibly. If your ransomware variant has a known decryption tool, we can decrypt your files directly. The No More Ransom project maintains free decryptors for over 150 ransomware variants. If no decryptor exists, we may be able to recover previous file versions from Windows shadow copies, temporary files, or email attachments. If all else fails, we can sometimes recover files from the unallocated space on your drive. The success rate depends on the specific ransomware variant.
