Decrypt Legion ransomware files

Our bespoke solutions have made it possible to recover Legion encrypted files.

Our bespoke solutions have made it possible to recover Legion encrypted files.

Legion Ransomware attacks have become one of the leading and most damaging means of cyber attacks in recent years. There has been an unprecedented increase in the numbers of companies that have had their data completely encrypted following an attack.

Many of these attacks are specific and targeted at the victim company, such attacks have huge destructive potential. Not only is the group in no hurry to start the process of encrypting the data, without first having reached online backups and as many devices on the network as possible, this process can last for months, and by the time the Legion ransomware is executed it can encrypt the vast majority of data or even 100% of files.

When faced with such a calamitous event, the options available are limited, particularly if backups have been compromised or are not current. The count of companies that have ceased operations due to the encryption of their data has reached a staggering level.

In numerous instances, despite paying the ransom, the Legion criminals do not provide the decryption key, leaving the victim without any recourse.

Digital Recovery comes to the market with solutions capable of decrypting files affected by Legion ransomware. We have solid numbers in our recovery projects.

Answers from our experts

How are Legion ransomware files recovered?

The recovery of Legion ransomware files is only possible because we have developed a proprietary technology that allows us to locate the encrypted files and reconstruct them, in many cases. This process requires knowledge about the storage device that was affected, without which the files can be corrupted and recovery would not be possible. Our experts have extensive knowledge about each of the major storage devices, such as: RAID systems, Storages (NAS, DAS, SAN), Databases, Servers, Virtual Machines, and more.

How to choose a company to decrypt my data?

Choosing a company to decrypt your data affected by Legion  requires careful consideration and research. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

  1. Look for a reputable company: Choose a company that has a good reputation for data recovery and decryption services. Read online reviews and testimonials to get an idea of their quality of service.
  2. Check for certifications: Make sure the company you choose is certified in data recovery and decryption. This will give you confidence in their ability to handle your data securely.
  3. Consider the cost: Decryption services can be expensive, so it’s important to compare prices between different companies. However, don’t make cost your only deciding factor as the cheapest option may not always be the best.
  4. Look for experience: Choose a company that has experience in decrypting data similar to yours. This will increase the likelihood of a successful decryption.
  5. Ask about their data security measures: Make sure the company has strong data security measures in place to protect your sensitive data.

By following these tips, you can choose Digital Recovery as the company to decrypt your data and recover your important files.

How much does the process to decrypt Legion ransomware cost?

The cost to decrypt Legion ransomware can vary depending on the severity of the attack and the complexity of the decryption process. The cost may also depend on the version of Legion ransomware and the specific files that need to be decrypted. This can only be determined once the extent of damage caused by the ransomware has been analysed and the possibility of decryption has been evaluated.

It’s important to note that there is no guarantee that decryption will be successful, and some files may be permanently lost or corrupted. Therefore, it’s important to find a company that doesn’t ask the full amount of the project upfront. It’s best to consult with a reputable data recovery company to get an accurate estimate of the cost for your particular situation.

Is negotiating with Legion hackers a good option?

No, negotiating with hackers is generally not a good option. When you negotiate with Legion hackers, you are essentially agreeing to their demands and supporting their criminal activities. This can encourage them to continue their illegal activities and target other victims.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the hacker will actually release your data or decrypt your files, even if you pay the ransom. In some cases, Legion  may take the money and still refuse to provide the decryption key or release the data.

Additionally, paying the ransom can also lead to other negative consequences. It can put your personal information and sensitive data at risk, as the hacker may have gained access to your system and stolen additional information. It can also lead to legal and ethical issues, as paying the ransom is considered to be supporting criminal activities.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to not negotiate or pay the ransom to hackers. Instead, victims should report the attack to law enforcement and seek the assistance of a reputable data recovery to retrieve their data and strengthen their security measures to prevent future attacks.

What you need to know

To prevent Legion ransomware attacks, it is important to have a comprehensive cybersecurity framework in place. However, there are some additional key points that you should keep in mind:

  • Organisation: Keep documentation of your IT systems and maintain an inventory of all networks and computers. Establish clear rules for new employees on the installation and use of software programmes on company computers.
  • Strong Passwords: Use strong passwords with at least 8 characters, including special characters, and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
  • Security Solutions: Install a reliable antivirus software and ensure that all software programmes, especially the operating system, are kept up to date. In addition to antivirus software, also consider installing a firewall and endpoint protection to provide comprehensive security.
  • Beware of Suspicious Emails: Email is a common method used by hackers to infiltrate systems. Train employees to recognise and avoid downloading attachments from unknown senders.
  • Efficient Backup Policies: Backups are crucial in the event of a ransomware attack, but many companies fail to create an effective backup plan. The recommended backup structure is 3x2x1, which means having 3 backups, 2 online and 1 offline, and regularly updating them.
  • Beware of Unofficial Programmes: Avoid downloading unofficial, free versions of software programmes like Windows or Office, as they may be infected with malware. Invest in official software programmes, as they are a good long-term investment and are also more secure.

There are several strategies employed by 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 Legion ransomware camouflages itself in the system so as not to be detected by defence systems.

In the tactics that depend on the action of a user, phishing tactics are applied so that the victim, without realising it, downloads the Legion ransomware into the system.

Yes, there are several behaviours of your server that you can analyse to determine if you are being attacked by Legion ransomware:

  1. High resource usage: If your server’s processing, memory, and disk usage are significantly higher than usual, it could indicate that ransomware is actively encrypting files or exfiltrating data.
  2. Changes in file extensions: Legion Ransomware often renames files with a new extension, such as .encrypted or .locked. If you notice such changes, it may be a sign that your server has been attacked.
  3. Unusual network traffic: Legion Ransomware needs to communicate with its command and control (C&C) server to receive instructions and report back on its progress. Analysing network traffic for unusual connections or data transfers can help you identify potential ransomware activity.
  4. Suspicious login attempts: Legion Ransomware attackers often gain access to a server through phishing emails or brute force attacks on weak passwords. Monitoring your server’s login attempts and blocking suspicious activity can help prevent ransomware attacks.
  5. Unusual system modifications: Legion Ransomware may make modifications to your server’s operating system or file system to carry out its attack. Keep an eye out for any changes to system files, registry entries, or other critical components.

By analysing these behaviours, you can potentially detect and prevent a Legion ransomware attack on your server. It’s important to stay vigilant and implement security measures to protect against ransomware and other cyber threats.

The data will remain encrypted, it will be necessary for the affected machine to be formatted. By doing so all stored data will be lost.

But in cases where the Legion  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.
