In Windows 10, Microsoft added a new ransomware protection feature called Controlled Folder Access that can be used to prevent modifications to files in protected folders by unknown programs. 
At the DerbyCon security conference last week, a security researcher showed how DLL inj

360 Ransomware Decryption Tool can help decrypt files which have been locked for free. Currently, it can decrypt over 80 types of ransomware including WannaCry and Petya.

An attempt at recovering data without paying the ransom

    This particular application promises to securely decrypt the files that have been taken hostage by cyber-criminals, allowing users to recover their data without having to pay a dime.

The Ransomware are malwares made by criminals that encrypts disks or files with a key, to obtain that key you have to pay an amount of money to the criminals. Here is the problem, most of the malwares around here don't get the keys for encrypt  from the attackers but they generate the key locally and hope that the fright you get and the timer they set will get you to pay to regain access to the files. In fact they say "Pay us within 6 hours or the key will be deleted", that is a way to make you

This book explores the genesis of ransomware and how the parallel emergence of encryption technologies has elevated ransomware to become the most prodigious cyber threat that enterprises are confronting. It also investigates the driving forces behind what has been dubbed the ‘ransomware revolution’ after a series of major attacks beginning in 2013, and how the advent of cryptocurrencies provided the catalyst for the development and increased pr

Capcom has released a final update about the ransomware attack it suffered last year, detailing how the hackers gained access to the network, compromised devices, and stole personal information belonging to thousands of individuals. In early November 2020, Ragnar Locker ransomware hit the Japanese game developer and publisher, forcing Capcom to shut down portions of their network.

In typical fashion for human-operated ransomware attacks, the threat actor stole sensitive information before enc

The threat of ransomware continues to grow across the globe. Malicious actors have used these data-encrypting hacks to extort money from hospitals, businesses, and even major natural gas pipelines. The effects can be devastating. Though ordinary consumers are not usually considered juicy targets for hackers (with some exceptions), it's still helpful to insulate yourself from these attacks as best you can. But how?


There are the obvious methods, of course: backup your data to offline, local

Security researchers have published a new suite of tools designed to help victims of the prolific Black Basta ransomware recover their files.

Berlin-based Security Research (SR) Labs revealed in a recent GitHub post that the tools exploit a weakness in the encryption algorithm.

Black Basta uses a ChaCha keystream to XOR encrypt 64-byte-long chunks of victim files.

“Our analysis suggests that files can be recovered if the plaintext of 64 encrypted bytes is known. Whether a file is fully
