Quote:Yet another free decryptor is available for GandCrab ransomware victims. The tool, released Tuesday, is the third decryptor update in the past year that thwarts the prolific and fast-evolving GandCrab ransomware.
Europol police announced availability of the update, which now unlocks data encrypted by GandCrab V1, V4 and V5 up to V5.1 versions. The decryptor is available for download via the No More Ransom project, an industry cooperative created to fight ransomware that has the cross-industry support of Bitdefender, Kaspersky Lab, McAfee and others.
“Back in October, a decryption tool was made available covering all but two versions of the then-existing versions of the [GandCrab] malware,” wrote Europol. “[This] new tool resolves infections with version 5.0.4 through 5.1 – the latest version developed by the cybercriminals.”
