REvil is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operator likely based in a Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) country.
Ransomware decryption service for free#
UPDATE: Victims of REvil ransomware can download the new decryption tool for free to recover their data: See Bitdefender’s post, here.Ī step-by-step tutorial on how to use the REvil decryption tool is available here. The decryption tool that Bitdefender is offering should help those victims to take back control of their data and assets. When REvil shut down, it left infected victims high and dry, unable to continue with negotiations that were abruptly snipped and, hence, unable to get a decryptor key. “Both parties believe it is important to release the universal decryptor before the investigation is completed to help as many victims as possible.”
“Please note this is an ongoing investigation and we can’t comment on details related to this case until authorized by the lead investigating law enforcement partner,” Bitdefender said in a press release. Unfortunately, it soon became clear to researchers that the decryptor was only for the files locked in the Kaseya attack.īitdefender, a Romania-based cybersecurity firm, didn’t share details on how it developed the key, beyond saying that it was created “in collaboration with a trusted law enforcement partner” and that it will help those entities that were attacked before parts of REvil’s infrastructure blinked off on July 13. At that time, it was first thought that the key could unlock all of the REvil attacks that occurred at the same time as the Kaseya one. This is the real deal, Bitdefender said, not the letdown of last month, when REvil victim Kaseya got its hands on a master key. The firm announced that it’s giving away the universal key on Thursday morning, mere days after REvil reared its slimy head again (though the underground considers it to probably be some mediocre, lower-tier REvil lackeys milking the name so as to pull an exit scam). REvil victims, your prayers have been answered: There’s a universal decryptor key waiting to free you.īitdefender is releasing a free, universal decryptor key to unlock data of victimized organizations that were encrypted by REvil/Sodinokibi ransomware attacks before the gang’s servers went belly-up on July 13.
