Conti ransomware gives HSE Ireland free decryptor, still selling data

Conti ransomware gang has released a free decryptor for Ireland s health service, the HSE, but warns that they will still sell or release stolen data. Ireland’s HSE and the Department of Health were attacked by the Conti ransom gang last Friday. The HSE was forced to shut down their IT systems to prevent further devices from being encrypted. Security researcher MalwareHunterTeam and BleepingComputer have confirmed that the decryptor can decrypt files that were encrypted during this attack. The government of Ireland will be performing a technical review of the tool before using it.
