Topic: Hacker reveals Ziggi ransomware decryption keys (Read 55 times)
My first though is that the decryption tool is another ramsonware.
The creator of the ransomware ransomware Ziggi published encryption keys to decrypt infected files. Security researcher M. Shahpasandi told BleepingComputer that the administrator of the ransomware Ziggy announced on Telegram that they would cease their work and release all decryption keys.
The hacker explained his actions with fears due to the recent arrest of the developers of ransomware Emotet and Netwalker, as well as guilt. Also, the administrator of Ziggy ransomware published a SQL file containing 922 decryption keys. For each victim, the SQL file contains three keys required to decrypt the encrypted files.
The ransomware administrator also posted a VirusTotal decryptor that victims can use with the keys listed in the SQL file and shared the source code of the offline decryption program with Emsisoft
Using the released keys, expert Michael Gillespie created a decryptor for the Ziggy ransomware you can download the program here https://www.emsisoft.com/ransomware-decryption-tools/ziggy
While the administrator of the ransomware appears to be honest about his intention to close and release the keys, BleepingComputer suggests using the security company's decoder rather than the one supplied by the threat actor. Be careful with network security
