Recover DATAF LOCKER ransomware files
If you have been affected by DATAF LOCKER ransomware, it is essential to act immediately to recover your files.
Ransomware attacks have emerged as one of the most destructive digital threats of recent times, rapidly growing and impacting companies of all sizes and industries. According to recent reports, over 70% of these attacks result in complete data encryption, with approximately 56% of victims ultimately paying the ransom. Fortunately, there are secure methods to recover data without having to pay the criminals.
DATAF LOCKER ransomware represents a sophisticated threat designed to completely block access to important files, whether on corporate or personal devices, through robust encryption. Recently, this type of ransomware has gained attention due to its destructive impact, seriously affecting essential sectors such as healthcare, education, industry, and financial markets.
Unlike traditional viruses, DATAF LOCKER ransomware is controlled by specialized criminal groups that use advanced encryption algorithms, such as AES-256 or RSA, to lock access to data, with the unique key kept exclusively by the attackers.
In addition, the practice known as double extortion is common, wherein besides encrypting files, hackers steal copies of sensitive data to threaten victims with public exposure.
Ransomware attacks have grown rapidly, with an estimated increase of around 5% in just the last year and average ransom demands reaching millions of dollars. Many affected companies end up paying the ransom due to ignorance of effective alternatives, directly contributing to the continuation of these criminal activities.

Answers from our experts
Usually, the DATAF LOCKER ransomware attack occurs through specific and well-structured stages:
- Silent infiltration: The attack starts with phishing techniques, where malicious emails or infected attachments are sent to victims. Another common method involves exploiting technical vulnerabilities in outdated systems, such as software breaches or insecure remote access (RDP).
- Backup mapping and neutralization: After entering the network, the ransomware performs a meticulous internal reconnaissance, identifying strategic data and connected or online backups. Its main goal is to compromise existing backups, preventing immediate file recovery.
- Mass encryption of files: Once the mapping of important files is complete, ransomware promptly initiates its encryption. Vital files including databases, ERP systems, virtual machines, and RAID systems are generally impacted, resulting in complete data inaccessibility.
- Financial extortion: Upon completion of file encryption, criminals typically leave a ransom note demanding payment. Generally, instructions guide victims to communicate through secure channels or the dark web, specifying cryptocurrency payments to hinder financial tracking.
How much does it cost to decrypt DATAF LOCKER ransomware?
The precise cost for recovering files encrypted by DATAF LOCKER ransomware varies depending on the severity and specific technical characteristics of the attack.
The total cost of the process is directly linked to the amount of affected information, the category of impacted systems (servers, virtual machines, storages, or databases), and the availability of usable backups.
To immediately initiate the process and receive a detailed proposal, contact our specialized team and request an initial diagnosis. Speak with one of our experts.
How long does the data recovery take?
The time needed for data recovery can significantly vary according to the specific scenario of the suffered attack. On average, the process usually takes from a few days to a few weeks. The exact duration will depend on factors such as the volume of encrypted files, the size of the affected infrastructure, the technical complexity of the ransomware, and the availability or state of existing backups.
After our initial diagnosis, performed within the first 24 business hours after your contact, our team will provide a clear and personalized estimate of the time required to successfully complete the process.
Is there any guarantee for data recovery?
Considering the technical complexity of ransomware attacks, no responsible company can guarantee in advance the complete recovery of files. Each incident presents unique technical aspects, such as different cryptographic algorithms and specific methods employed by criminals.
Even so, Digital Recovery employs innovative and exclusive solutions, especially the proprietary TRACER technology, which ensures a very high success rate in recovering data affected by ransomware.

What you need to know
How to prevent a DATAF LOCKER ransomware attack?
Preventing a DATAF LOCKER ransomware attack requires a comprehensive cybersecurity framework, but that’s not all, let’s list some important points that you need to pay attention to.
Keep software and operating systems up to date: Regularly update software and operating systems with the latest security patches to protect against known vulnerabilities.
Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication: Use strong, unique passwords for all accounts and enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.
Educate employees: Train employees on how to recognize phishing emails and other social engineering tactics used by cybercriminals.
Back up data regularly: Make sure to regularly back up important data to a secure, offsite location.
Use antivirus and antimalware software: Use reputable antivirus and antimalware software and keep it up to date.
Limit user access: Restrict user access to only what is necessary to perform their job functions and regularly review and remove unnecessary access.
Monitor network traffic: Regularly monitor network traffic to detect unusual activity or traffic patterns.
Have an incident response plan: Develop and regularly test an incident response plan to respond quickly and effectively to a ransomware attack.
By following these best practices, organizations can help reduce their risk of falling victim to a DATAF LOCKER ransomware attack.
What is the most common means of access used by hackers to break into the environments?
There are several strategies employed by DATAF LOCKER criminals, the main ones are: downloads of infected files, malicious links, attacks via RDP, Phishing, spam email campaigns, and more.
All of them have the same intention, to access the victim’s system without the victim’s awareness. To do so, the DATAF LOCKER ransomware camouflages itself in the system so as not to be detected by defense systems.
In the tactics that depend on the action of a user, phishing tactics are applied so that the victim, without realizing it, downloads the ransomware into the system.
Is there any behavior of my server, that I can analyze, to know if I am being attacked by DATAF LOCKER Ransomware?
Suspicious activities such as excessive processing, memory usage, and disk access warrant a thorough investigation to determine whether an attack is in progress.
DATAF LOCKER Ransomware typically utilizes the machine’s own resources to carry out data exfiltration and encryption, thereby imposing a heavy load on the system’s resources.
Moreover, detecting the attack through changes to file extensions can be challenging since the encryption process would have already been initiated, making it a more complex process.
What happens if I don't pay the DATAF LOCKER ransom?
The data will remain encrypted, it will be necessary for the affected machine to be formatted. By doing this all stored data will be lost.
However, if the attacking group employs the double extortion tactic of copying and exfiltrating all files from the device prior to encryption, they may post the stolen files on the group’s website or on Dark Web forums. In this case, even if the victim pays the ransom or formats the affected device, the original data will remain encrypted while the stolen files will be exposed, causing significant data breaches and privacy concerns.
