Someone said a friend got ransomware on their computer?

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 <http://www.decryptcryptolocker.com/> for their individual content
