EU law enforcement agency Europol says the No More Ransom Project, a portal launched five years ago, so far has helped more than 6 million ransomware victims worldwide recover their files for free so they could avoid paying almost 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) in ransoms.
Europol’s European Cybercrime Center, the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands police and the cybersecurity companies Kaspersky and McAfee created the portal to help ransomware victims retrieve their encrypted data by providing them with decryptors.
The initiative now has nearly 170 law enforcement and corporate sponsors who offer 121 free tools that can decrypt 151 ransomware families, Europol says. The portal is available in 37 languages.
