Security researchers have put out an updated decryptor for the Babuk ransomware family, providing a free solution for victims of the Tortilla variant.
A collaboration between Cisco Talos, Avast, and the Netherlands police led to the development of the new decryptor and the arrest of the criminals behind the variant.
According to Cisco Talos, the Amsterdam police force arrested the individual behind Babuk Tortilla, and the Dutch Public Prosecution Office prosecuted them, although neither institution has published information about the case or responded to The Register’s request for details.
