One soldier does not make a battle, especially in the world of cybercrime, where hidden dangers lurk in the depths of the darknet and occasionally appear topside. There are a lot of cybercriminals on Earth but they are largely not organized. Cybersecurity experts are no fewer in number \u2014 and they can unite around a common purpose to achieve greater results, catch bad guys, and help victims. Basically, that is how the No More Ransom project<\/a> was born.<\/p>\n

The initiative is under nonstop development. As a result we have more good news to share today: Our antiransomware project was joined by new allies. They have contributed support and new decryption tools. The project\u2019s website has also been translated into several new languages.<\/p>\n

In July 2016, four cofounders created No More Ransom: Kaspersky Lab, Europol, Intel Security, and the Dutch police. We joined forces to create a platform that could bring real help to ransomware victims \u2014 and to all Internet users. We gathered useful tools and manuals, and uploaded them to the website to help either mitigate the results of ransomware attack or to prevent those attacks.<\/p>\n

Since the launch, dozens of organizations from all over the world supported the initiative. Even more partners joined today. New from the law enforcement side are Australia, Belgium, Interpol, Israel, South Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. Others are Acronis International GmbH, Crowdstrike, Cyber Security Canada, DataGravity, Deloitte, ENISA, the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA), the Japan Cyber Control Centre (JC3), KUERT Datenrettung Deutschland GmbH, K\u00dcRT Data Recovery and Information Security Co., mnemonic AS, Neutrino srl, Portugal Telecom, Secura Group Limited, SentinelOne, and Verizon Enterprise Solutions. The CERT community \u2014 represented by AfricaCERT, BA-CSIRT (CSIRT of Buenos Aires City Government), Centro Nacional de Ciberseguran\u00e7a, Certego Incident Response Team, Cybersecurity Malaysia, and the Japan Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (JPCERTCC) \u2014 also contributes strong support.<\/p>\n

Some partners brought gifts: Thanks to our new associate partners AVAST, CERT Polska, and Eleven Paths (Telefonica\u2019s Cyber Security Unit), and existing partners Bitdefender, Check Point, and Emsisoft we have 15 more decryption tools<\/strong> on No More Ransom. Good job! It\u2019s also noteworthy that Kaspersky Lab updated Rakhni and Rannoh Decryptors, which were already available on the site to make them even more effective against ransomware. Altogether, the www.nomoreransom.org<\/a> platform now offers 39 decryption tools, all free.<\/p>\n
