Are you a victim of ransomware?

Now you have a chance of getting your precious files back without paying those hackers. Thanks to Europol, the Dutch Police, Russia's Kaspersky, and USA's McAfee for coming up with [**No More Ransom Project**](https://www.nomoreransom.org/en/index.html) that will help people and organizations to recover their compromised files.

No More Ransom is a repository of keys and applications that can decrypt data locked by different types of ransomware.

Ransomware is a type malicious software (malware) released by hackers and cybercriminals. Common ransomware will encrypt your mobile devices or computers, locking your files unless a ransom is paid usually in forms of cryptocurrencies. However, paying ransom cannot guarantee that the users can get their files back as some decryption tools sent by hackers were useless.

No More Ransom has keys and decryption tools for the following ransomware:

  • Lambdalocker
  • Nemucudaes
  • Macransom
  • Jaff
  • Encryptile
  • Amnesia2
  • Mole
  • Btcware
  • Cry128
  • Cry9
  • Crypton

So in case a ransomware locked your computers, check out No More Ransom for decryption tools.

And never ever pay.
