Avast releases a new ransomware decryption tool for XData ransomware.

XData ransomware was discovered mid-May and now, two weeks later, we have released a free decryption tool for victims hit by XData ransomware that they can use to decrypt their data.

XData shares some similarities with the WannaCry ransomware that spread around the world. XData started spreading shortly after the WannaCry outbreak and has also been infecting machines by taking advantage the EternalBlue exploit.

The spreading of XData was definitely not as massive as WannaCry, but it still made an impact. As originally reported by the MalwareHunterTeam, it mainly targeted users in the Ukraine.
