EDIT: Competition has ended. No price money will be paid out. I gave up on the files and dumped them in a separate drive. Only nostalgia was lost.

My Qnap NAS server was hacked by Deadbolt with Ransomware, but "unfortunately" Qnap removed the ransom note before I could comply.

The crime has been reported to the Norwegian Police and Qnap are working on a solution. But I don't have much faith that they will succeed.

Several data retrieval companies has also given me the "no can do"

So as a shot in the dark I am offering a reward to anyone who can magickly produce the encryption key for my files.

Competition rules:
First person to provide me with the right encryption key that can unlock my files using emsisoft decryption tools
[ Ссылка ]
will receive the price of €300 provided over PayPal. (if you can not receive PayPal payment you are uneligible and can't participate)

If several persons magicly manages to proved the key and the winner is unclear. I will select a winner at random.

i will pin a comment when a winner is selected or the competition is ended.

I will not except any offer to gain axes to anything else then these files.

All spam bot offers comments will be deleted.

UPDATE:

I finally got Qnap to restore the landing page and got my BTC address and the sum.

Ironically the ransom note included a tool to retrieve the BTC address and sum. I have no idea why they didn't just give me that. I included a copy of the tools in the drobox. Se more at this forum: [ Ссылка ]

I'll wait to pay 6 months in hope that Interpol will catch these people before then. Competition for the 300€ price is still open.

If you want to help please just download the files, crack the encryption key and post the key here. First one to do so will get the prize.

Also try this: You're key might already be cracked by Interpol. Check on their site: [ Ссылка ]
(mine unfortunately is not hacked yet)
