Garmin reportedly negotiated with Evil Corp for decryption key to unlock its files in the wake of a WastedLocker ransomware attack. The attack knocked out Garmin s fitness-tracker services, customer-support outlets and commercial aviation offerings such as flight-plan filing, account-syncing and database-concierge capabilities. Garmin has declined to comment on any of the investigative findings regarding the ransom or the decryptor. Sky News reported that the device-maker paid the ransom to Evil Corp via a ransomware-negotiation business called Arete IR.
