Kaspersky has released a decryptor for the Fonix Ransomware that allows victims to recover their encrypted files for free.
The good news is that if you have been infected with the FonixRansomware, you can now decrypt your files for free using an updated version of Kaspersky's RakhniDecryptor.
Download the decryptor to a device with encrypted files and start the program.
Once selected, the decryptor will look for your decryption key, and when found, begin to decrypt your files.
BleepingComputer has tested the decryptor on an encrypted computer, and as you can see below, was able to decrypt the files.
After you have decrypted your files and determined that they are opening correctly, you can delete the leftover encrypted files.
