Romanian cybersecurity firm Bitdefender has released a free decryptor for the DarkSide ransomware to allow victims to recover their files without paying a ransom.
DarkSide is a human-operated ransomware that has already earned millions in payouts since it started targeting enterprises in August 2020.
The operation has seen a spike in activity between October and December 2020 when the amount of DarkSide sample submissions on the ID-Ransomware platform more than quadrupled.
