My MySQL Database corrupted / hacked by ransom

[Prakash Hariharan]

MySQL database is corrupted / hacked by ransom and have reduced to 0 bytes.

However, all databases in the form of .ibd still present in the c:/Xampp/mysql/data/ location. But there is only one .frm (readme.frm) file is available.

readme.frm is the hackers file.

Is there any software available for recovery?


Also, we have a back file which we have taken 2 months before.

I have restored the two month backup file and take all the .frm files and copy / paste it to new database. Unfortunately this does not work. MySQL makes errors like "#1932 - Table Database.tablename doesn't exist in engine".

Also, we have taken the ib_logfile0,ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 file from backup folder and data folder from the old (affected) MySQL and replace it into new MySQL. But this is also through the same error.

Could anyone please help on this?
