impacting production workflows. Matrix Cyforce was brought in to contain, analyze, and restore
compromised systems while ensuring evidence integrity for legal follow-up.
Challenges
- Servers fully encrypted
- Attacker persistence suspected
- No EDR or logging enabled
- Critical production downtime
What We Did
- Isolated compromised servers from LAN
- Took forensic images (write-blocked)
- Performed malware reverse-engineering
- Identified entry vector via exposed RDP
- Recovered 87% of encrypted data
- Generated chain-of-custody & legal report
