Recover X ransomware files

In case X ransomware has encrypted your data, rapid response is essential to increase your chances of recovery.

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.

X 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.

Contrary to common viruses, X ransomware is often operated by sophisticated criminal organizations using robust algorithms like AES-256 and RSA to encrypt critical files, maintaining control of the necessary decryption key.

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

How does the X ransomware attack work?

Usually, the X ransomware attack occurs through specific and well-structured 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 Another common approach involves exploiting existing technical vulnerabilities in outdated systems, such as software security flaws or unsecured remote connections (RDP).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 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: 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: 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 X ransomware?

The exact value to decrypt files impacted by X 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 quickly start the process and get an accurate quote, we recommend requesting an initial diagnosis with our specialized team. Talk to our experts.

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

Preventing a X 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.

There exist various tactics utilized by X 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, X 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.

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 X 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 X 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.

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.
