No More Ransom! Site: https://www.nomoreransom.org/crypto-sheriff.php
Ransomware is a scourge and every day more people fall victim to these cybercriminals. For the most, those who find themselves looking at a ransomware demand screen are pretty much screwed. The individuals are left in bewilderment of what happened and why they cannot use their precious files, faced with a choice to pay criminals or do without their data.
A new non-profit site, NoMoreRansom.org, has been setup to help victims. It provides information, resources, and for a lucky few, depending upon the ransomware variant, there are tools available to decrypt files without having to pay the extortion.
Hope this helps.
