I feel like I'm missing out on the fun. Maybe I should install an
xp vm with sp2 and crawl the tubes with IE6 in a sandbox to get in
on this.<br>

I would have figured someone would release an app to
unlock it for poor bastards, but you have to send them the
data? Ugh, yeah no.<br>

Side note, their sister company is now huge in marketing

Through a partnership that included researchers from FOX-IT and FireEye,
researchers managed to recover the private encryption keys that
CryptoLocker uses to lock victims' personal computer files until they pay a
$300 ransom. They also reverse engineered the binary code at the heart of
the malicious program. The result: a website that allows victims to recover
the key <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.decryptcryptolocker.com/" target="_blank"><http://www.decryptcryptolocker.com/></a> for their individual content

malware would probably be reluctant to send their encrypted files.
