Free Site Recovers Files Locked By Cryptolocker

Previously, I shared some info about Cryptolocker (ransomware), discovered in September 2013 which is a malware that encrypts a windows user’s data files including documents, photos and music. So what was the only option for a Windows user to get that data back: unfortunately pay ransom to hackers whatever amount they demand? But, now good news is that two security companies: FireEye and Fox-IT have launched a site: decryptcryptolocker.com which can be used by anyone wants to recover their files locked by Cryptolocker. How the site works apparently by sending an email link that victims can use to download a recovery program to get back all of their files. Thanks to these two companies as the service is free, so enjoy 🙂
