The No More Ransom project celebrates its fifth anniversary today after helping over six million ransomware victims recover their files and saving them almost €1 billion in ransomware payments.
"The decryptors available in the No More Ransom repository have helped more than six million people to recover their files for free," the Europol said.
"This prevented criminals from earning almost a billion euros through ransomware attacks. Currently offering 121 free tools able to decrypt 151 ransomware families, it unites 170 partners from the public and private sector."
No More Ransom aims to help victims recover their encrypted files, raise awareness of the ransomware threat, and provide ransomware victims and the general public with direct links to report attacks.
To get a decryptor, you have to upload two encrypted files and the ransomware note via No More Ransom's Crypto Sheriff, which will try to match them against a list of available decryption tools.
If you become a victim, do not pay! Report the crime and check No More Ransom for decryption tools.
