In the last few years, many organizations have suffered from ransomware attacks. Recovering from a ransomware attack usually requires backups, but in some cases there are other ways. In this session, Alexander will tell the story behind his team’s latest research, which is now published by Europol on NoMoreRansom. The research breaks an entire family of ransomware variants and allows victims to restore encrypted data without obtaining the private keys.
