Damage patterns: causes & symptoms of data loss

Whether a data recovery is carried out logically on the computer or physically in the cleanroom depends on the failure pattern – regardless of the operating system (Windows, macOS or Linux). Typical symptoms and signs by which you can recognise the seriousness of the situation:

• Drive clicks, grinds or beeps
• Storage device is no longer detected or shows 0 MB
• sudden failure after a drop, water or a power surge
• Windows asks „Format disk?“ or reports „RAW“
• Files, folders or entire partitions suddenly go missing
• RAID/NAS array degraded or a rebuild fails

Based on the symptoms, we assign the damage pattern to one of these causes:

Data loss from ransomware and cyberattacks

After a ransomware attack (a particularly widespread form of malware), files are encrypted and given a ransom demand. Do not pay any ransom – it does not guarantee decryption and finances further attacks. Secure the affected storage devices unchanged so that later recovery remains possible. Companies file a criminal report and contact the Central Cybercrime Contact Point (ZAC) of the responsible State Criminal Police Office. Depending on the malware – such as LockBit or Akira – we check whether data can be reconstructed from shadow copies, backups or unencrypted remnants. Our penetration test shows how attack surfaces can be reduced in advance.

Cleanroom and data recovery laboratory

We handle physical damage in our cleanroom laboratory. In the low-dust environment of a cleanroom, hard drives can be opened to replace read/write heads or transplant platters – procedures that would permanently destroy the storage device outside a cleanroom. This requires an extensive inventory of spare parts with identical models. In our data recovery laboratory, we combine this hardware work with the forensic reconstruction of the file system.

Data protection and confidentiality

Your data remains your data. We treat every job strictly confidentially and in compliance with the GDPR (including the German BDSG). On request, we return defective storage devices or carry out verifiable, secure data erasure or data destruction. The recovered data is handed over in encrypted form.
