Even so, on Friday, the independent malware researcher known as Valthek released a free decryptor for GandCrab ransomware versions 5.0 to 5.0.3, although he says it also potentially works with version 5.0.4.

Valthek says he wishes he had the ability to generate this key for victims, but does not. That ability, at least for GandCrab version 5 victims, only appears to reside with Romanian security firm Bitdefender, which has previously published free decryptors for various strains of ransomware, including multiple versions of GandCrag. So for anyone infected by GandCrab version 5 for whom the Bitdefender decryptor doesn't work, victims might appeal to Bitdefender to give them a copy of the required key.
Its free GandCrab free decryptor requires an active internet connection, as well as a copy of the ransom note on a victim's PC. Behind the scenes, Bitdefender appears to be able to crack the private encryption key used to crypto-lock the victim's PC, which then allows the victim to decrypt their files. To do that, a victim must first upload a copy of their ransom note.
In response to Valthek saying that his firm should share its private key cracking ability, Botezatu says that Bitdefender prefers to control the ability to provide private keys to victims, to ensure that the service is always provided for free.
Such updates are required because the GandCrab gang regularly updates its tools to try and evade defenses and countermeasures. For example, after Bitdefender released its latest free decryptor on Oct. 25, just 12 hours later, Boczan says he began seeing a version 5.0.5 of GandCrab, which the decryptor couldn't crack.
Valthek's free decryptor follows the free Bitdefender decryptor for many versions of GandCrab being released last month via the No More Ransom project (see Fresh GandCrab Decryptor Frees Data for Free).
For anyone who does fall victim to ransomware and can't avail themselves of a free decryptor - or who does pay and doesn't get a working decryption key in return - all may not be lost. In such cases, be sure to keep a full backup of everything, including the ransom note, since security firms in the future may be able to build a decryptor, says Bitdefender's Botezatu via Twitter. 2ff7e9595c
