Conti Ransomware Recovery
Do not pay the ransom. Conti was a Russian-speaking ransomware group that ran like a corporation, with salaries, HR, and a call center to pressure victims. The group used AES-256 encryption and targeted Indian hospitals, government agencies, and enterprises across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru. Though Conti shut down in May 2022 after the ContiLeaks, encrypted files remain locked. Our New Delhi lab has cracked Conti's encryption. Free assessment, 95% recovery rate.

What is Conti?
Conti was a Russian-speaking ransomware group that operated from 2019 to 2022. Unlike other groups, Conti ran like a corporation with salaries, HR departments, and even a call center to pressure victims by phone. The ransomware used AES-256 encryption with a custom implementation. In February 2022, a Ukrainian researcher leaked thousands of internal chat messages (the ContiLeaks), exposing their operations, members, and encryption methods.
Conti targeted critical infrastructure including hospitals, government agencies, and Indian enterprises. The group used double extortion: encrypt files and threaten to leak stolen data. In India, Conti encrypted Tally databases, SQL Server instances, and corporate file servers across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Under DPDP Act, the data breach created mandatory reporting obligations to the Data Protection Board.
In our lab, we analyze Conti's AES-256 cryptographic implementation at the binary level. The ContiLeaks gave us deep insight into their encryption routines, allowing us to identify specific weaknesses for offline key extraction. We have successfully restored Tally .tsf databases, Busy Accounting files, and SQL Server MDF/NDF encrypted by Conti across Indian enterprises. Conti shut down in May 2022, but encrypted files from earlier attacks remain locked and recoverable.

Essential Do's and Don'ts for Ransomware Data Recovery
Follow these steps to preserve encrypted evidence for CERT-In reporting and maximize your recovery chances.
Do
- Disconnect the infected device from the network immediately
- Contact a professional data recovery service right away
- Document everything, take photos of ransom notes and error messages
- Keep the infected drive powered off until professionals examine it
- Report the attack to CERT-In (cert-in.org.in) within 6 hours as required under India's IT Act
Don't
- Don't pay the ransom, it funds criminals and doesn't guarantee recovery
- Don't reboot or restart the infected computer
- Don't try to decrypt files with random tools from the internet
- Don't connect USB drives or external storage to the infected machine
- Don't delete the encrypted files, they can still be recovered
How Conti Spreads
Understanding how Conti works helps us reverse it. Here is the typical attack chain.
Phishing & Exploits
Uses phishing emails, stolen credentials, and exploit kits to gain initial access.
Lateral Movement
Moves silently through the network using stolen admin credentials and tools like Cobalt Strike.
Data Theft
Steals sensitive data before encrypting for double extortion.
Files Encrypted
All files get locked with strong encryption. Ransom note demands Bitcoin payment.

Common Questions
Answers to the most common questions about Conti recovery.
We strongly advise against paying. Conti has a track record of publishing data even after receiving payment. Plus, paying funds more attacks. Our team can recover your data without paying anything to the criminals.
Most Conti recoveries take 24-48 hours. Complex cases with large networks may take 3-5 days. We'll give you a clear timeline after our free assessment.
Conti does threaten to publish stolen data on their leak site. However, even if you pay, there's no guarantee they won't publish it anyway. The best approach is to focus on recovery and strengthening your security.
Conti officially disbanded in 2022, but many of its members joined other ransomware groups like BlackCat, Royal, and Akira. The encryption methods and tools they developed are still in use. Our team stays updated on all these variants.
Common entry points include: phishing emails, stolen credentials, exploiting vulnerabilities in VPN and RDP, and social engineering. Conti was known for targeting specific organizations with tailored attacks. We'll help you identify and close the entry point.
Our free assessment includes: identifying the exact Conti variant, analyzing the encryption method, checking for available decryption keys, estimating recovery time and success rate, and providing a clear quote. You only pay if you approve and we succeed.
