The Ragnarok (or Asnarök) ransomware gang shut down their operation today and released a free decryption utility to help victims recover their files.
The free decrypter, hardcoded with a master decryption key, was released today on the gang’s dark web portal, where the group previously used to publish files from victims who refused to pay. The decrypter, which has been confirmed to work by multiple security researchers, is currently being analyzed before security firms will rewrite a clean and safe-to-use version that will be made publicly available through Europol’s NoMoreRansom portal. Prior to shutting down earlier today, the Ragnarok gang had been active since late 2019 and early 2020.
