Ransomware Attack - File Encryption

HARI KRISHNAN K

Hi Team,

I need some clarification about file encryption.

If files are already encrypted. Can ransomware affect already encrypted files?

Regards

Hari

    Hi - Sophos does have products that can prevent encrypting malware, but SafeGuard is not one of them!

    The Malware would encrypt all files (sometimes targeted file types) but them being encrypted (or the disk being encrypted) already would sadly make no difference to the software.

    You would just have them "double" encrypted! 

    There are other products on the market from other suppliers - but Sophos Intercept X is the current product that can help mitigate this.
