Plumbing Company Recovers from Ransomware Attack
The Challenge
A family-owned plumbing company was hit by ransomware that encrypted their scheduling system, customer database, and website. With no recent backups, they faced losing years of customer history and their primary source of new leads.
Our Solution
We recovered their data from clean backups we identified, migrated their website to secure managed hosting, implemented automated daily backups, and hardened their email security to prevent the phishing attack that started it all.
The Results
- Full recovery within 36 hours
- Zero customer data lost
- Automated backup system now in place
- No successful attacks in 14+ months since
“We thought we'd have to pay the ransom or lose 15 years of customer records. IronGate got us back up and running, and now we actually feel protected.”
