Individuals and organizations affected by ransomware can regain access to their encrypted files without paying the ransom using the No More Ransom project. This initiative, backed by law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity companies, offers a repository of decryption tools and keys for various ransomware types.

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malware that locks or encrypts your computer and mobile devices, or electronic files, demanding a ransom for access. Paying the ransom is not guaranteed to restore access, and it's advised against.

How No More Ransom Helps

The project provides a collection of decryption tools and applications for different ransomware strains, helping victims recover their data. It also includes a 'Crypto Sheriff' tool to identify the type of ransomware infection by analyzing encrypted files and ransom messages.

Key Features

• A comprehensive database of decryption tools for over 170 ransomware types.
• The Crypto Sheriff tool for identifying ransomware infections.
• Educational content on preventing ransomware attacks and maintaining cybersecurity hygiene.

Usage

1. Visit the No More Ransom website and switch to your preferred language.
2. Use the Crypto Sheriff tool by uploading encrypted files (up to 1 MB) and providing details from the ransom message to identify the ransomware type.
3. Download the appropriate decryption tool for the identified ransomware strain and follow the provided instructions to decrypt your files.

It's crucial to remove the malware from your system before attempting decryption to ensure the process is successful.
