Security experts have devised a method that allows users to recover data from computers infected with the Petya ransomware program without paying money to cybercriminals. Using the tool requires extracting some data from an affected hard drive and connecting it to a different computer where the tool can run. The data extracted by the tool must be inputted into a Web application created by leostone that will use it to crack the key. The user must then put the affected drive back into the original computer, boot from it, and input the key on the ransom screen.”]
