New Site Recovers Files Locked by Cryptolocker Ransomware
(Krebs): http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/new-site-recovers-files-locked-by-cryptolocker-ransomware/
"Until today, Microsoft Windows users whobve been unfortunate enough to
have the personal files on their computer encrypted and held for
ransom by a nasty strain of malware called CryptoLocker have been
faced with a tough choice: Pay cybercrooks a ransom of a few hundred
to several thousand dollars to unlock the files, or kiss those files
goodbye forever. That changed this morning, when two security firms
teamed up to launch a free new online service that can help victims
unlock and recover files scrambled by the malware."
