How Do I Decrypt Files Encrypted by Ransomware?

⚠️ Once your files are encrypted by ransomware, your options are few. If you're not prepared, there are a few straws to grasp at.

Ransomware is malware that encrypts your files, making them unusable. They promise to decrypt the files if you pay a fee (or ransom). You may get lucky and find decryption keys for the ransomware you face in a public collection, but it’s unlikely. Backing up properly is the only sure-fire way to be able to recover from ransomware, next to avoiding it in the first place.
