Recover Prank ransomware files
If you have been affected by Prank ransomware, it is essential to act immediately to recover your files.
Ransomware attacks are among today’s greatest digital threats, showing constant growth and affecting organizations of various sizes and sectors. Recent surveys indicate that over 70% of these attacks lead to full file encryption, with around 56% of victims paying the ransom demanded. However, specialized solutions exist that allow data recovery without directly negotiating with hackers.
Prank 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, Prank 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.
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.
The number of ransomware attacks is rapidly increasing, with approximately 5% growth recorded last year. Ransom demands frequently exceed millions of dollars, leading many affected companies to pay the required amount due to ignorance of effective alternatives, directly fueling the cycle of attacks.
Our company has innovative and secure solutions for complete ransomware decryption.

Answers from our experts
The Prank ransomware attack typically occurs in several well-defined stages:
- Silent infiltration: Initially, the ransomware infiltrates through phishing campaigns, sending fraudulent emails or malicious attachments to victims. Another common approach involves exploiting existing technical vulnerabilities in outdated systems, such as software security flaws or unsecured remote connections (RDP).
- Backup mapping and neutralization: After the initial entry, the ransomware conducts an internal network reconnaissance, identifying strategic files and particularly connected or online backups. The aim is also to compromise these backups, eliminating quick recovery options.
- 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: Once files are encrypted, attackers leave a ransom note with detailed payment instructions. Instructions frequently suggest contacting via anonymous platforms or the dark web, demanding cryptocurrency payments to make tracing virtually impossible.
How much does it cost to decrypt Prank ransomware?
The exact value to decrypt files impacted by Prank ransomware is defined according to the extent and level of technical complexity of the suffered attack.
Typically, the cost is directly influenced by factors such as the volume of data affected, the type of system impacted (servers, storages, virtual machines, or databases), and the availability of intact backups.
To expedite the process and obtain a precise and personalized assessment, we recommend contacting our specialists directly for an initial diagnosis. Request specialized support right away.
How long does the data recovery take?
The period required to restore files can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the attack. Usually, the process takes from a few days to a few weeks, with the exact time influenced by factors like the amount of encrypted data, the complexity of the attack, the size of the affected network, and the quality of existing backups.
After receiving your contact, we perform an initial diagnosis within 24 business hours, and then our team will inform you of a clear and personalized estimate of the timeframe required to complete your data recovery.
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.
Nevertheless, Digital Recovery relies on proprietary and advanced technologies, including the exclusive TRACER solution, capable of providing high success rates in recovering ransomware-encrypted files.

What you need to know
How to prevent a Prank ransomware attack?
Preventing a Prank 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 exist various tactics utilized by Prank 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, Prank 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 Prank 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 Prank 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 Prank 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 Prank ransom?
If a device is affected by Prank ransomware that uses encryption, the encrypted data will remain inaccessible until the ransom is paid or the device is formatted.
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.
