Victims of the CoinVault ransomware might be able to decrypt their files with a free tool released by Kaspersky Lab together with the Dutch police.
The tool can be found at
https://noransom.kaspersky.com. The application uses decryption keys found by the Dutch police as part of an investigation.
Ransomware like CoinVault encrypts data on a disk or blocks access to a computer system. It is usually installed by exploiting a vulnerability on victims' computers via phishing emails or links to malicious websites.
Unlike other ransomware, CoinVault
lets victims see a list of the files it encrypted and decrypt one for free to try to get people to pay up.
