Files encrypted by the STOP ransomware using an online key unfortunately cannot be decrypted without the specific decryption key held by the attackers. It is strongly discouraged to contact the attackers or pay the ransom, as this does not guarantee file recovery and can pose further security risks.
However, there are some methods that might help you restore your files to their original state. These include using shadow copies, file recovery tools, or checking for any available backups that were not affected by the ransomware. You can find detailed steps and additional recovery methods in the linked article below:
