Today, Emsisoft has released a SynAck ransomware decryptor that works on all variants and allows victims to recover their files for free.
After downloading the decryptor, simply run the program and browse to a ransom note.
After pressing the OK button, the decryptor will load your decryption key, and you can now begin decrypting files.
As you can see from the image below, we could decrypt a test file using the key extracted from the bundled ransom note.
