The new members of the project are: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, The , Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and (don't look for Greece, no one is saving us, it seems the ransom will be paid). No More Ransom Project

In the coming months, more law enforcement agencies and private sector organizations are expected to join the project.

Their collaboration will lead to more free decryption tools available free of charge, helping more and more people to decipher their devices and unlock their information. Virtually the project hurts cybercriminals where they are most painful: in their wallets.

Project objectives are supported by Eurojust and the European Commission, demonstrating the EU's concern about the rising threat of ransomware.

No More Ransom started 25 July 2016 from the Dutch National Police, Europol, Intel Security and Kaspersky Lab, introducing a new level of co-operation between law enforcement and the private sector to combat ransomware.

During the of the first two months, over 2.500 people managed to benefit from it s No More Ransom, decrypting their devices without having to pay the criminals, using basic malware decryption tools (CoinVault, WildFire and Shade).

This deprived cybercriminals of an estimated 1.350.000 XNUMX in ransom.

Currently, there are five decryption tools in the official of the project, and we expect to see more very soon.
In order to broaden the public, the portal has now been adapted to support different languages.
