stapp 152 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 So that the experts can look at it, can you attach a ransom note _readme.txt to your message. Do not edit anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems nothing can be done and my files are as good as buried treasure. I hope it won't take years until they can be decrypted tho. Thank you for the information!

We'd need the private key for your ID to be able to decrypt your files, however only the criminals have access to the private keys, so there's really nothing we can do until those private keys get released publicly.
