Is there any record of the ransom virus on a Linux system?

I've only heard success stories (if you can even call it that). The code can't be cryptographically cracked and it's been difficult to track the authors. There were some leads for one group a week ago or so, but I haven't followed it. It's a pretty lousy situation.

    I've heard from a friend that talked to someone that paid the
    ransom and they couldn't decrypt the files and he lost the files
    and lost the money.  Is anyone working on trying to either catch
    these crooks or trying to crack their code?

    You have to pay or restore from a backup. You can't beat the
    encryption.

        Just recently a friend of mine opened an outlook message that
        asked her to download a program that turned out to be a
        ransom virus and has encrypted all of her Microsoft office
        files and are wanting her to pay a ransom of $500 to get her
        files back.

        Has anyone had any success in retrieving these ransom files
        from an infected machine?  If so please contact me if you
        have any ideas how to retrieve these files.

        Thank you,
        Ralph
