Bitdefender has released a free decryptor to help LockerGoga ransomware victims recover their file without paying a ransom.
Bitdefender says the decryptor was developed in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, including Europol, the NoMoreRansom Project, the Zürich Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the Zürich Cantonal Police.
The LockerGoga operators were arrested in October 2021, which may have allowed law enforcement to access the master private keys used to decrypt victims’ encryption keys.
Steps for decryption:
Step 1: Download the decryption tool from https://download.bitdefender.com/am/malware_removal/BDLockerGogaDecryptTool.exe and save it somewhere on your computer.
Step 2: Double-click the file and allow it to run by clicking Yes in the UAC prompt.
Step 3: Read the Terms of Use and select “By checking the box, you accept the Terms of Use” for the End User License Agreement, and then click Continue.
Step 4: Select “Scan Entire System” if you want to search for all encrypted files or just add the path to your encrypted files.
At the end of this step, your files should have been decrypted.
