Decryption Keys Released for 3 Defunct Ransomware Strains

Master decryption keys have been released for three strains of ransomware: Maze, Sekhmet and Egregor. The master keys were released Tuesday night to the forums of Bleeping Computer by the malware’s alleged developer. To use it, a victim must possess a ransom note for the infection, which includes an encrypted decryption key, which Emsisoft’s tool will decrypt, allowing victims to decrypt their files. None of the three ransomware strains have been tied to any recent attacks, security experts have long suspected that all three groups were connected.”]
