In just one day, the developers behind the Cerber Ransomware have made changes that blocked Check Point Software from decrypting Cerber victim's for free. At the same time, the Cerber devs have added a captcha to their payment system in order to login. This captcha would make it so that services could not automate the exploitation of flaws on their servers.

Unfortunately, this means that visitors to the CerberDecrypt.com site will no longer be greeted with a helpful form allowing them to get their decryption key, but rather a message stating that the service is no longer available.
