Why You Shouldn’t Attempt to Fix It Alone

If Inc ransomware has hit your business, taking the wrong steps can cause permanent data
loss or legal risks. Like a crime scene, a ransomware attack must be preserved—tampering
with encrypted files, attempting self-recovery, or engaging with attackers can destroy
critical evidence and reduce your chances of recovery.

The right response in the first moments after an Inc attack can make the difference
between full recovery and permanent data loss. Follow these critical steps to protect your
data and maximize your chances of restoring operations.

INC RANSOMWARE FACTS & STATISTICS

RANSOM AMOUNTS

Inc ransomware often targets large companies or organizations using complex attacks.

The Inc ransom demands range from $100,000 into the millions of dollars. Ransoms are usually paid in Bitcoin. Quick-buy methods of purchasing Bitcoin with PayPal or credit cards do not work for this size of ransom payment and it is important to obtain expert advise to ensure that a payment of this size is legally compliant.

AVERAGE RANSOM, USD $

AVERAGE LENGTH

Inc ransomware attacks are complex and can result in extended downtime. This is generally due to the size of the ransom demands and the logistics involved in ensuring a compliant payment processing.

For most ransomware victims, downtime is the most expensive part of the incident. It can also cause significant reputational damage.

We have worked extensively with Inc ransomware, and we understand very well how the gang operates. This enables us to rapidly resolve attacks and restore files.

CASE OUTCOMES

There are multiple gangs operating Inc ransomware. Most of them reliably deliver working decryptors upon receipt of payment, but it’s important to ensure that you are dealing with a known gang, because some ransomware gangs are known to collect payment and disappear without providing decryption keys.

COMMON ATTACK VECTORS

The most common method used by Inc ransomware to infect victims is phishing.

Frequently asked questions

How Does Ransomware Encrypt Files?

Ransomware encrypts files using advanced cryptographic algorithms, typically AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) or RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). Once executed, the malware scans the system for specific file types and encrypts them, making them inaccessible to the user. Some variants use symmetric encryption (AES), while others combine it with asymmetric encryption (RSA) to lock files with a unique key pair.

Can You Decrypt My Ransomware Encrypted Files?

Decryption depends on the ransomware variant. In some cases, publicly available decryption tools exist, but not all attacks have a known solution. You can submit a free ransomware recovery request, and we will check for possible decryption methods.
