Ransome ware decrypt (Scarab)
I have a friend who was hit with ransom ware. The files are encrypted with scarab extensions.
He tried paying the ransom but did not receive any fix.
Is there anyway to decrypt the data or is he just pretty much up the creek??
He does not have any backups.

Some times antivirus companies providing some decryption tools, you can find on Kaspersky webpage. Sometimes shadow copy helps or deep data recovery from hdd may help. Paying to criminals is bad idea and it never works.
Thanks. I hope you will be able to help your friend make good backups on an ongoing basis.
Encryption
Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
