Today marks the launch of a new online service provided by FireEye and Fox-IT aimed at helping victims of Cryptolocker to recover their files for free.
The service can be accessed here and comes after a major operation to grab a copy of Cryptolockers database proved successful.
For more information and to read the full blog post detailing how Cryptolocker works and how the service works, see the blog post here.
A word of caution to anyone jumping for joy, there are many variants of Cryptolocker and so using the decryption service is by no means a guarantee of getting your files back safe and sound. It is however, another beacon of hope for innocent victims caught up in the ongoing battle against ransomware.
