We're hit by Cerber ransomware, help needed!

Question

Our Confluence installation has been hit by Cerber ransomware and they demand a large amount of money. Are you aware of any tools that can decrypt my locked files? Unfortunately, my backups are also encrypted.

If not, do you know if paying them their blood money will allow me to resolve the issue? In other words, does their decrypt tool work?

Thanks, Leo

I had the same problem ...
and I think is a problem with Atlassian Software because only confluence App is affected.

Only files from atlassian /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence
This space is used by Confluence to store all data and configurations.

Improve the security of the tools...

By asking the question in a place dedicated to talking about Atlassian stuff, you did say it was an Atlassian problem.

I was trying to point out that you are probably not going to get any help from us, as it is the wrong field for us.

And that means we can't address either of your questions.

Have you tried asking this in a place that is for talking about ransomware?

I never said it was an Atlassian problem and you have not addressed either of my questions
