Recover Petya ransomware files
If you have been affected by Petya ransomware, it is essential to act immediately to recover your files.
Ransomware attacks have become one of the most dangerous digital threats, significantly increasing in recent years and impacting companies across all sectors and sizes. Recent studies show that over 70% of these attacks result in full data encryption, causing about 56% of victims to give in to criminals’ demands. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to recover files without negotiating with hackers.
Petya ransomware is an advanced category of malware that aims to encrypt vital data, preventing legitimate access to information stored in corporate and personal systems. In recent years, this threat has gained significant prominence, severely impacting strategic sectors including healthcare, education, manufacturing, and financial services.
Unlike traditional threats, Petya ransomware is managed by highly organized criminal groups that employ powerful encryption (AES-256 or RSA) to render data inaccessible except through a unique key held by the attackers.
Additionally, hackers often apply the double extortion method, encrypting files while simultaneously stealing sensitive data, and threatening to publish it online to increase pressure for ransom payment.
Ransomware attacks have intensified significantly, registering an estimated increase of 5% in the last year alone. Ransom demands easily reach millions of dollars, and numerous companies, unaware of alternative solutions, end up paying, further strengthening criminal actions.
Our company has innovative and secure solutions for complete ransomware decryption.

Answers from our experts
Petya ransomware executes its attack through a clear and defined sequence of steps:
- 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 Another common method involves exploiting technical vulnerabilities in outdated systems, such as software breaches or insecure remote access (RDP).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 initial infiltration, the ransomware performs detailed mapping of the internal network, targeting strategic files and available or online-connected backups, aiming to neutralize these backups to prevent rapid recovery.
- Mass encryption of files: Following initial reconnaissance, ransomware immediately encrypts the identified files. Critical data, databases, ERPs, virtual machines, and RAID arrays are frequently compromised, completely blocking user access.
- Financial extortion: After encrypting the data, criminals leave a ransom note demanding payment. Usually, instructions for communication through secure platforms or the dark web are provided, requiring payments in cryptocurrencies to hinder tracing.
How much does it cost to decrypt Petya ransomware?
The exact value to decrypt files impacted by Petya ransomware is defined according to the extent and level of technical complexity of the suffered attack.
The final value largely depends on elements such as the extent of compromised data, the specific types of systems involved (servers, virtual machines, storages, or databases), and the current state of existing backups.
If you want to quickly start recovery and obtain an accurate quote, contact our specialized team to perform a detailed initial diagnosis. Talk to our specialists now.
How long does the data recovery take?
The timeline for data recovery varies according to the specific circumstances of each attack. Generally, the process can range from a few days to several weeks, mainly depending on the volume of affected files, the extent of the impacted infrastructure, the complexity of the ransomware involved, and the condition of available backups.
Once we perform the initial diagnosis, which occurs within the first 24 business hours after your contact, we will provide a precise and detailed estimate of the timeframe necessary to successfully complete your data recovery.
Is there any guarantee for data recovery?
Due to the technical complexity involved in ransomware attacks, no serious company can ensure beforehand the full recovery of encrypted files. Each attack possesses specific characteristics, including distinct encryption algorithms and various strategies adopted by criminals.
However, Digital Recovery uses advanced and exclusive technologies, such as the proprietary TRACER solution, which provides a very high success rate in recovering files encrypted by ransomware.

What you need to know
How to prevent a Petya ransomware attack?
Preventing a Petya 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.
- Organization – Having documentation of the IT park helps a lot in the prevention process, in addition to the inventory of networks and computers. Develop rules so that new employees have clear company policy on the installation and use of programs on computers.
- Strong Passwords – Passwords should be strong, containing more than 8 digits, including special ones. And do not use a single password for multiple credentials.
- Security Solutions – Have a good antivirus installed, keep all programs up to date, especially the operating system. Besides the antivirus solution, you need a Firewall and endpoints. They will make sure that the system stays protected.
- Beware of suspicious emails – One of the most used means for invasion used by hacker groups are spam email campaigns, so it is vital to create a security and awareness policy for employees not to download attached files sent by unknown emails.
- Efficient backup policies – Backups are essential for any eventual incident, but even with this essential role many companies neglect it or create a backup schedule that is not effective. We have already assisted several clients that not only the data was encrypted, but also the backups. It is not recommended to keep online backups only. The best backup structure is 3x2x1, which is 3 backups, 2 online and 1 offline, in addition to creating a consistent routine of updating the backups.
- Beware of unofficial programs – There are numerous paid programs that are made available for free on the Internet, such as Windows, Office and many others. They may appear to be free at first, but in the future can be used as a gateway for future hacker attacks. Even if official programs demand financial resources, they are a good investment and are also secure.
What is the most common means of access used by hackers to break into the environments?
There are several strategies employed by Petya 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 Petya 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 Petya Ransomware?
High consumption of processing, memory and disk access are suspicious behaviors that need to be investigated thoroughly in order to assess whether an attack is underway.
The Petya ransomware uses the machine’s own resources to perform exfiltration. In order to encrypt the machine this demands the use of its own resources.
It is also possible to detect the Petya attack by the changes made to the file extensions, this type of detection is a bit more complex because the encryption process will have already been started.
What happens if I don't pay the Petya ransom?
If a device is affected by Petya ransomware that uses encryption, the encrypted data will remain inaccessible until the ransom is paid or the device is formatted.
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.
