If I have both the original and ransomware-encrypted versions of a file, can I decrypt the encrypted version?
No, typically decrypting ransomware-encrypted files requires the encryption key held by the attacker. Without this key, it is extremely difficult to decrypt the files. However, in some cases, decryption tools or vulnerabilities in the ransomware may exist that could potentially allow for decryption, but these options are not always available or effective.
