Recover Locky ransomware files
Have your files been locked by Locky ransomware? Act fast to safely restore your data.
While common viruses generally aim to cause general damage, Locky ransomware is executed by specialized hackers who use advanced encryption techniques, such as AES-256 or RSA, to permanently block access to information, releasing it only upon possession of the specific key under the criminals’ control.
Another frequently used practice is the double extortion, in which attackers not only encrypt files but also extract and threaten to publicly disclose confidential data, further pressuring victims.
Ransomware attacks have shown accelerated growth, increasing approximately 5% in the past year alone, with the average ransom demanded by criminals reaching millions of dollars. Many organizations, due to lack of effective recovery methods, end up yielding to the demands and funding further attacks.
We provide specialized solutions for the secure recovery of ransomware-encrypted files.

Answers from our experts
The Locky ransomware attack typically occurs in several well-defined stages:
- Silent infiltration: The attack usually begins through phishing, by sending malicious emails or infected files to victims. Additionally, technical vulnerabilities in outdated systems, such as breaches in old software or insecure remote access via RDP, are commonly exploited.
- Backup mapping and neutralization: Once inside the network, the ransomware carefully analyzes the environment, detecting important files and connected or online backups. The goal is to directly affect these backups, removing the possibility of quickly restoring the information.
- Mass encryption of files: Once data is mapped, ransomware quickly starts encryption. Critical files, databases, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, virtual machines, and RAID systems are typically affected, making the files completely inaccessible.
- 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 to prevent a Locky ransomware attack?
Preventing a Locky 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 Locky ransomware attack.
What is the most common means of access used by hackers to break into the environments?
There exist various tactics utilized by Locky criminals, the primary ones being: dissemination of infected files, malicious hyperlinks, RDP-based assaults, phishing, spam email campaigns, among others.
Their ultimate objective is to infiltrate the victim’s system without their knowledge. Therefore, Locky ransomware disguises itself within the system to evade detection by security systems.
In situations where user involvement is required, perpetrators employ phishing techniques to induce the victim into unwittingly downloading ransomware onto their system.
Is there any behavior of my server, that I can analyze, to know if I am being attacked by Locky Ransomware?
Suspicious activities such as excessive processing, memory usage, and disk access warrant a thorough investigation to determine whether an attack is in progress.
Locky 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 Locky 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.
But in cases where the attacking group uses the double extortion tactic of copying and extracting all files and encrypting the original data, the stolen files will be posted on the group’s website or Dark Web forums and all original data will remain encrypted on the affected device, requiring the device to be formatted.
