[dosborne]

Maybe anyone has other experiences in restoring the ransom page the way I tried so far?

Did you try the steps listed here:

Anyone has received the decrypt key recently? Paid ransom more than 72 hours ago and still only one transaction.

You are lucky: OP_Return is aaf8cad41cf6cf61b0aa6d0ba7d8029d.

Maybe you can help me as well? I am not able to find the OP_Return after paying to bc1q2049vk64uq0y58cl02qzvudzzt7kpz3unj433k. Help would be so much appreciated!

Thank you so much. It accepted the key and started decryption.

Hello everybody,

After having my qnap in storage for over a year I found out I also have a deadbolted qnap , I think it happened around february/march 2022 when I needed all stuff my stored because of some personal stuff happening.
----
What happened?
All your files have been encrypted. This includes (but is not limited to) Photos, Documents and Spreadsheets.
Why Me?
This is not a personal attack. You have been targeted because of the inadequate security provided by your vendor (QNAP).
What now?
You can make a payment of (exactly) 0.030000 bitcoin to the following address:
bc1qksqe8fyflnnacrzgcuemenu2k8c67u0a0m7nvp
----
I need the files, but i am not able to find the return code. I followed the instructions as described on the first page of this thread and made the payment. But I can't find the return code, can someone find it for me?

Thanks!

Unbelieveable...after more than a year you are aware that you are deadbolted?
And now you need the data?


The OP-Return will be available usually within 48-72 hours.
If you get one, you will be lucky. A ransom of 0.03BTC is very outdated, it was increased to 0.05BTC somewhen mid of 2022.

Thanks for the reply! Yes more than a year. Circumstances made I had to store my belongings in a storage for a long time, without knowing about deadbolt . So the OP-return will be shown in a different transaction @ bc1qksqe8fyflnnacrzgcuemenu2k8c67u0a0m7nvp if I'm lucky?

I wish I knew earlier

No luck. I've increased it to the updated amount 0.05.

expensive lesson, but still no luck . Or do you see an OP return code?

Thanks for the help

[FSC830]

No, did check last time abt. 2 hours ago.
My guess, this is all an automated process, so lets hope that increasing the fee will result in an OP_Return.

Good luck.

That made my day! Thanks!

My QNAP will never be reachable via internet again! next to a tripple backup

[FSC830]

0.05BTC is equal to over more than 1200euro/dollar...

Yes, and?
Several dozen times mentioned here, that an USB drive (or even 2 or 3 or...) is much cheaper than paying the ransom.
But there will be always people who will learning this the hard (expensive) way... .

No risk - no fun...

As countless times said here and in other threads: with a VPN service at your router and a VPN client at your mobile you should be able to access from everywhere you are staying - in the safest way you can choose.

All other access methods are less safe up to very insecure (port forwardings, myqnapcloud, ...).

seems that i'm on the 0.05BTC list and so far the deadbolt address hasn't been tracked by Dutch authorities and the decryption key isn't available from them. trying to find any avenue to restore the files (mainly pictures) I've been searching through the blockchain site but not seeing the OP_Return from the new interface on the blockchain site. Yes I checked the instructions in the previous post.

[dolbyman]

This is still an English forum, so if you want to converse in dutch, check here

https://forum.qnapclub.be/index.php

And it has been discussed on end that the dutch authorities did nothing other than to pay/cancel the transaction to the criminals but they (the criminals) smartened up and are now delaying payments until each transaction has been confirmed plenty of times

So no need to hope for any authorities to step in .. pay up or live without these files
