DCH hospitals in Alabama have decided to the pay ransom for the Ryuk Ransomware in order to receive a decryptor and get their computer systems back up and running. DCH has not stated how much they paid for the decryptor, but have confirmed that they have successfully decrypted multiple encrypted servers. Security firm Emsisoft recommends that affected victims contact them before paying the ransom as there is a small chance that they may be able to help users decrypt their files using free tools.
