SPILL THE TEA
Maybe they're giving the encryption key after getting some of their millions?Cyber criminals hand over decryption key to unlock HSE systems
The HSE has been supplied with an encryption key alleged to help unlock data disabled by the cyber attack.www.independent.ie
Hmmmm. What are these parasites up to?
thats what I thought but I read around a bit and, apparently this isn't that unusual for them. At this stage they have the data, its been made clear to them that data can be recovered without their help, they change their tactics to get the most value from the data they've robbed. They did the same in Germany before. Gave up the decryption key so the systems could get back online, and started talking about payment for not abusing the data.Maybe they're giving the encryption key after getting some of their millions?
All parties involved insist that no ransom has or will be paid by the Government, that no money has changed hands and that no agency, representative, or private individual, directly or by proxy has or will pay any ransom and that none will be paid and disguised in the fees paid to a commercial company.
is this a link to download the tool ?
da, comradeis this a link to download the tool ?
thats pretty much what they're doing. If you look at the doc @magicbastarder linked earlier in the thread about the plan to deal with the attack, thats pretty much what they described.The only way (again in my completely not informed at all opinion) is to nuke everything, set up everything again, and try to restore from backups. Slow, shitty, annoying. But anything else is a guarantee that you're on the list of people that'll pay, and you will be hit.

Or, maybe they just got their ransom. The wording from Donnelly was very curious. No money was paid by the 'Irish State'. Someone else could have paid it.
20 million is pocket change to himDenis o brien.
its trapatoni all over again.
Ah... haha. Oops. Fair enough though, paying them seems like the worst possible response. I'd probably take losing EVERYTHING over paying even a token amount, since it will keep happening.thats pretty much what they're doing.

Its tedious as fuck and is gonna take a long time (less now because they have easier access to the data), but thats the price to be paid for cutting corners with their IT security and infrastructure.
The biggest surprise in all of this is that they weren't hit sooner.
20 million is pocket change to him
and they wanted it in bitcoin, and the value of bitcoin has dropped 45% since they announced the ransom. We missed a trick there.
