Superb service from R3 Data Recovery. Having stupidly deleted an external drive of all my files I called and Andy was of invaluable help. He went through different options and advised me on the one that would probably be the best for the issue I had. 24 hours later I have all of my data back where it should be. Cannot recommend highly enough.

During the recent publicity over the WannaCry ransomware attack I was in communication with a number of NHS clients who were asking how many enquiries were we getting.

The reality is the WannaCry ransomware attack was relatively insignificant other than the publicity it attracted and its interference with some services, not to downplay their impact but to put into perspective this attack was smaller in ransom value, ransoms paid and bigger in publicity possibly due to the state of the nation with regard to politics / manifestos / budgets and propaganda.

In terms of monetary value the ransoms were low. In terms of disruption to services it was not the Windows XP systems that were compromised it was the Win 7 and Server 2003 systems.

As a news item I was shocked at the publicity and panic mongering which seemed more politically motivated but I could be wrong, my observation is based on similar outbreaks in 2016 which knocked out entire cities and local authorities but were not publicised to the same extent.

We help the recovery process with ransomware decryption by first imaging drives sector by sector so that there is a second chance of recovery if anything goes wrong.

Don't forget encryption / decryption and malware / antivirus scanning can add extra risk to a storage device failing.
