Dutch police obtained CoinVault cryptokeys and in turn victims may find their way out of the mess, reports Loek Essers, Amsterdam correspondent, IDG News Service. Computer users hit by this extortion version of ransomware—they find it blocks their access to their computer system or encrypts data on a disk—may be able to decrypt their files thanks to a tool from Kaspersky Lab. The app makes use of the keys that were found by the police, said IDG's Essers.
