Windows 10 Pro, infected with Phobos ransomware. &nbsp;Files encrypted and probably lost.<br />
<br />
BUT, I have the potential of restoring &quot;ibd&quot; files without, currently, any frm or ibdata1 files. &nbsp;I currently ONLY have individual ibd files that are 1 GB each. &nbsp;I have/know the table structure of the original database.<br />
<br />
Is there a way I can extract data (customer names, address, information, anything) from these ibd files in any manner that might allow me to recover something?<br />
<br />
And, on the off chance, anyone know of any decryption workaround for Phobos - so far it seems too new for anyone to have found a workaround.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Ransomware is malicious software, designed to block data access in order to extort money. As a form of malware, ransomware is most often used to infiltrate devices through infected emails or links that, in turn, recognize and take advantage of vulnerabilities in the operating system and installed third-party software.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
