Avast Strikes Again: Free Decryptor Smashes DoNex Ransomware!
Avast has exposed a flaw in the cryptographic scheme of DoNex ransomware and released a free decryptor. This tool, kept under wraps until a recent cybersecurity conference, can recover files encrypted by DoNex and its predecessors. Users should back up their files before using the decryptor to avoid potential data loss.
Hot Take:
Looks like DoNex ransomware is going to need a serious rebrand after this one! Avast just turned their cryptographic scheme into Swiss cheese and made it look easy. You know it’s bad when your cutting-edge ransomware can be undone faster than a teenager’s shoelaces. Avast, you might want to consider moonlighting as a magician because this is some serious Houdini-level stuff!
