Attacker Decrypts Computers Infected with Locker Ransomware

Attacker Decrypts Computers Infected with Locker Ransomware


Update: Computers infected by the Locker crypto-ransomware were today decrypted as promised by the malware’s author, who last week posted the decryption keys to an upload site and apologized for releasing the malware.


Lawrence Abrams of Bleeping Computer said the infected computers were decrypted for free. A post to Bleeping Computer said that the author’s decryption command only works on computers that are still infected. Any machines that have removed the malware can use a tool posted to the site over the weekend to decrypt their files.
