    Hello,

     

    What are the exact file names of the encrypted files? (It could be similar to "Something.GDB!___filehelpers3181@gmail.com__.crypt" for example.)

     

    Do you have a file pair where there are two identical files, one readable and one encrypted? (For example a photo, which is preserved on memory card, but its copy stored on the hard disk got encrypted. Or a database file that has a readable backup.)

     

    [Rationale: a lot of current malware and manual encrypting attacks done via remote access vulnerabilites still use an older Gomasom framework with known faulty crypto. In that case, there is a utility which can recover the key in a few hours, via brute force comparison of an encrypted / readable pair of otherwise identical files. It saved two customers here in the past week.]
