We just released a new free decryption tool for the HildaCrypt ransomware strain.
Named after the animated TV show Hilda, the ransomware was created for fun and “educational purposes.” Despite the reason for its creation, however, HildaCrypt may still be used to victimize people in the future. So its developer immediately released the ransomware’s private decryption keys to allow the creation of a decryptor.
You can download the FREE decryption tool linked below. A detailed guide is also included.
