"Both AtomSilo ransomware and LockFile are similar and except for minor differences, this application covers both." he says Avast on her blog.

Avast reported that they were able to break the ransomware's encryption system and create the decryptor using information shared by Jiří Vinopal, a security researcher at RE-CERT, who tweeted earlier this month that he discovered a way to την κρυπτογράφηση του AtomSilo και είχε ήδη δημιουργήσει ένα decrypter.

On the other hand, the decoder for Babuk is coming in a separate application.

Avast said it created the decrypter using the source code of the original Babuk ransomware, which was shared on a Russian-language forum in early September.

In a tweet today, Avast reports that the source code contained decryption keys for older victims.

Thus, the decoder only works for older Babuk victims who have encrypted files with .babuk or .babyk file extensions.
