Project34 Ransomware Data Recovery

I think there's an issue with my storage device, but I'm not sure
Start a free evaluationProject34 uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt the victim's files. This level of encryption makes it very difficult to decrypt the files without the decryption key, which is only known by the attackers. They distribute Project34 Ransomware through email attachments and malicious links. Once the ransomware is executed, it will scan the computer for specific file types and encrypt them. The attackers will then demand a ransom be paid to decrypt the files. Project34 is a serious threat that can cause significant financial damage to victims.
History
This ransomware was first discovered in June 2017 by malware researcher MalwareHunterTeam. It was discovered that this ransomware was being distributed through email attachments that contained a malicious JavaScript file. The JavaScript file would download and execute the Project34 Ransomware payload.
Developers
A group of Russian-speaking individuals developed Project34 Ransomware. This group is also responsible for developing Project12 Ransomware.
How do I know if I am infected with this ransomware?
Project34 will encrypt the victim's files and append the ".project34" extension to the encrypted files. For example, a file named "sample.jpg" would be renamed to "sample.jpg.project34". Also, Project34 will create a text file named "!DECRYPT_INFORMATION!.txt" in each folder that contains encrypted files. This text file contains the same ransom note as the one displayed on the screen.
What files does it encrypt?
Project34 will encrypt the victim's personal files, such as images, videos, documents, etc.
Payment
The attackers behind Project34 Ransomware are demanding a ransom of 1 Bitcoin, which is currently worth approximately $2,500. They have provided victims with a unique Bitcoin address that the ransom must be sent. The attackers have also given victims 72 hours to pay the ransom, after which time the price will double.The amount of the ransom may vary depending on the number of files that were encrypted and the level of importance of those files.
