Recover Data from LockBit Ransomware?
Posted: Tue May 13, 2025 4:26 am
Hello everyone,
My external hard drive has recently been infected and encrypted by what appears to be the LockBit ransomware. All my important files now have a strange extension, and a ransom note in each folder asks for cryptocurrency payment.
I’ve tried using basic recovery tools like Recuva and R-Studio, but they only recover the encrypted versions of the files.
Has anyone here successfully recovered data from a LockBit-encrypted drive without paying the ransom?
Are there any known decryption tools, or is data recovery possible by restoring previous file versions or shadow copies?
Thank you!
