Free tools to decrypt your data in the event of a ransomware attack

Streamscan's incident response team regularly manages cybersecurity incidents impacting organizations in Quebec, Canada and internationally. Many of these incidents involve ransomware.

In the event of a ransomware attack, every minute counts, and you need to act fast to isolate the incident, prevent it from spreading, patch your systems, reinforce network security, restore your data and get back into production as quickly as possible.

When an organization doesn't have up-to-date backups, unfortunately the situation can be very complex and difficult to manage. In extreme cases, negotiations with the hacker may be necessary.

Free access to a decryptor (with a bit of luck)

Before considering any negotiation with the hacker, we strongly suggest you check whether you can access a free decryptor of the ransomware that infected you.

Here are a few reference sites for downloading free ransomware decryptors.

• Nomoreransom
• Avast
• Kaspersky
• Emisoft
• AVG
• Trendmicro

You could download decryptors for various ransomware.

Note that the latest versions of ransomware may not be covered.
