Avast has released a decryptor for the HermeticRansom ransomware strain used in targeted attacks against Ukrainian systems over the past ten days.

The decryptor is offered as a free-to-download tool from Avast's website and can help Ukrainians restore their data quickly and reliably.

The first signs of HermeticRansom's distribution were observed by ESET researchers on February 23, mere hours before the invasion of Russian troops unfolded in Ukraine.
