Kaspersky has announced that it has successfully deciphered the CryptXXX ransomware.
More specifically, Kaspersky's John Snow reports that his victims maliciousυ λογισμικού μπορούν να αποκρυπτογραφήσουν τα δεδομένα τους χωρίς να χρειάζεται να πληρώσουν τα λύτρα που ζητούν οι απατεώνες.
CryptXXX was discovered in mid-April by security firm Proofpoint, which said it originated from the developers of Reveton and spread through Angler exploit kit.
Fraudsters using CryptXXX required 500 dollars from each encrypted system, and Proofpoint notes that it is one of the highest amounts ever requested by similar software.
Ransomware encrypts files on computer of the victim but also on the peripheral storage units connected to the machine.
Attackers also steal Bitcoins which are stored on the hard drives diskof the victims.
Note that although CryptXXX uses RSA4096 encryption, Snow said it was not "so hard to crack."
So the company added decryption mode to the RannohDecryptor ransomware decryption tool.
