Got Ransomware? FBI Says, “Don’t Pay It. Decrypt it.” | Ron Benvenisti

On June 17, the FBI, in partnership with law enforcement agencies from 8 European countries, as well as Europol and BitDefender, released a decryption tool applicable to all versions of GandCrab ransomware.

GandCrab is the Grand Central Marketplace for ransomware as it operates using a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) business model, selling the right to distribute malware to affiliates in exchange for 40% of the ransoms.

GandCrab has targeted US victims in at least 8 critical infrastructure sectors. GandCrab rapidly rose to become the most prominent affiliate-based ransomware, and was estimated to hold 50% of the ransomware market share by mid-2018. Experts estimate GandCrab infected over 500,000 victims worldwide, causing losses in excess of $300 million.

The FBI is releasing the master keys in order to facilitate the development of additional decryption tools.

The decryption tool can be found at www.nomoreransom.org. The collaborative efforts further identified the master decryption keys for all new versions of GandCrab introduced since July 2018. The FBI has just released the master keys in order to facilitate the development of additional decryption tools.
