Oh, good to know they provide support. I just remember some ransom (was it notpetya?) that had a broken "pay" thing or some invalid mail... anyway, you couldn't get the key. And encryption your data doesn't help if you don't have backups. Edit: Here is the story: https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/27/15881110/petya-notpetya-paying-ransom-email-blocked-ransomware https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/27/15881110/petya-notpetya-p... So email provider blocked their email...

> And encryption your data doesn't help if you don't have backups. Actually, it does. "We'll delete your data." is not the only ransomware threat - the other one that's not quite as big, but growing, is "We'll leak your data." Backups prevent denial. Encryption prevents dissemination.
