Decryption Keys Released by Developer of HildaCrypt Ransomware
The State of Security
The developer of HildaCrypt has released the master decryption keys that would allow potential victims of the ransomware to recover their data for free.
On October 4, a security researcher who goes by the name “GrujaRS” posted about the discovery of a new variant of STOP, a well–known ransomware family.
The developer of the threat saw GrujaRS’s post and contacted the researcher to inform them that their analysis was incorrect. They clarified that the ransomware was not a STOP variant but instead a sample of a new ransomware family called “HildaCrypt.” As part of this clarification, the developer decided to hand over the threat’s master decryption keys.
