Is there any record of the ransom virus on a Linux system?<br>

<p dir="ltr">I've only heard success stories (if you can even call
it that). The code can't be cryptographically cracked and it's
been difficult to track the authors. There were some leads for
one group a week ago or so, but I haven't followed it. It's a
pretty lousy situation.</p>

<div>I've heard from a friend that talked to someone that
paid the ransom and they couldn't decrypt the files and he
lost the files and lost the money. Is anyone working on
trying to either catch these crooks or trying to crack
their code?</div>

Just recently a friend of mine opened an outlook
message that asked her to download a program that
turned out to be a ransom virus and has encrypted
all of her Microsoft office files and are wanting
her to pay a ransom of $500 to get her files back.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had any success in retrieving these
ransom files from an infected machine? If so please
contact me if you have any ideas how to retrieve
these files.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
