The El_Cometa ransomware gang, formerly known as SynAck, has released today master decryption keys for the victims they infected between July 2017 and early 2021.
The keys have been verified as authentic by Michael Gillespie, a malware analyst at security firm Emsisoft and the creator of the ID-Ransomware service.
Gillespie told The Record he was able to use the leaked decryption utilities and private keys to decrypt files from old SynAck attacks.
