Machines Infected by Locker Ransomware Decrypted

Computers infected by the Locker crypto-ransomware were today decrypted as promised by the malware s author. Last week the author posted the decryption keys to an upload site and apologized for releasing the malware. Locker was seeking 0.1 Bitcoin, around $30USD. None of the victims, however, have been refunded, KnowBe4 said. The Locker malware was spread via malvertising campaigns redirecting users to exploit kits and possibly a compromised Minecraft installer.
