The German programmer who fell victim to the ransomware virus decided to take revenge on the attackers and hacked the hacker database, which contained keys for decrypting the files.
The German programmer Tobias Frömel has been the victim of hackers who infected his computers with a ransomware virus that encrypts important Fremel files. The programmer had to pay for decrypting the files, but, unsatisfied with this state of affairs, he hacked the database of intruders and downloaded the keys necessary for decryption. Thus, he is able to help other victims of the ransomware virus.
“I hacked them and got a complete database with keys, here it is ... Yes, I know that it is illegal, but he also used already compromised servers, so I'm not a bad guy in this situation. But all this is really sad, I gave 670 euros to this criminal, ”Tobias Fremel wrote on the BleepingComputer forum.
Tobias posted a database with keys for decryption, and also wrote instructions for using the program to decrypt files. At the same time, he left the address of his Bitcoin wallet for those who want to thank the programmer financially.
Just yesterday it became known that hackers broke into the systems of the Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera and are demanding a ransom in bitcoins for unlocking.
