Apparently, at least for CryptoLocker, they *did* release the encryption key if you paid up, at least initially. This is in their interest, as when word gets round that you actually have a way out, more people will be inclined to pay. However as the heat increases it's more likely they will just disappear with the money. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
