🇮🇳 Indian hosting company attacked by ARGS ransomware

In early 2023 a group of hackers were noted for their multiple attacks aimed at encrypting data from small businesses around the world. This attack wave caused a lot of irreversible damage to many businesses. Luckily, one of them sought help with Digital Recovery and allowed us to change the game.

A small Indian hosting company suffered a devastating attack from the ARGS ransomware. The company, which provided hosting services to a large list of customers, had its websites taken offline and was paralysed for several days.

The attackers targeted VMs on ESXi affecting more than 10 virtual servers. They demanded a ransom of $40,000, which the company could not pay.

The impact of the attack was significant as customers who relied on the hosting company for their websites were affected and had their websites suspended for several days until the problem was resolved.

When the company turned to Digital Recovery for help, it received the best possible support. The diagnosis was made using some samples of Linux VMs that were sent through the cloud. Our team worked around the clock to ensure that the damage was minimised.

The project lasted a week and there was a feedback system in place with updates every 6 hours. The client was confident and hopeful throughout the project and their trust in Digital Recovery was not lost.

The project was done in its entirety as planned in our first contact. Our team of encrypted data recovery specialists had already had experience with the ARGS ransomware and knew very well how to proceed to resolve the issue.

After a few days, all 10 virtual machines had been recovered and our client could quickly restructure its system and resume business. In this way, the companies that depended on the hosting our client provided were also able to resume business and satisfy their customers.

We then concluded yet another successful data recovery project, saving a company from an important financial loss, a drop in its credibility in the market and more headaches having to deal with criminals.
