Understanding the Impact & Ensuring a Legally Sound Response
A ransomware attack can cripple businesses, disrupt operations, and expose sensitive data. While many assume that ransomware only encrypts files, attackers often exfiltrate data before deploying the ransomware. This can lead to additional risks, including data breaches, compliance violations, and legal exposure.
At Black Dog Forensics, we do not typically decrypt ransomware, but we conduct comprehensive forensic investigations to determine:
- How the ransomware entered the system and what vulnerabilities were exploited.
- Whether sensitive data was stolen before encryption occurred.
- The full extent of the attack to assist with insurance claims and compliance reporting.
