The new members of the project are: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Colombia, France, 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 cooperation will lead to more free decryption tools helping more and more people to decrypt their devices and unlock their information. Essentially, the project hurts cybercriminals where it hurts the most: 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 από την Εθνική Αστυνομία της Ολλανδίας (Dutch National Police) την , την Intel Security και την Kaspersky Lab, εισάγοντας ένα νέο επίπεδο συνεργασίας μεταξύ των αρχών επιβολής του νόμου και του ιδιωτικού τομέα για την καταπολέμηση της ransomware.

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

This deprived cybercriminals of an estimated 1.350.000 XNUMX in ransom.

Currently, there are five decryption tools on the official website of the project, and we expect to see very soon more.
In fact, in order to expand the public is currently adapted to support different languages.
