The No More Ransom website is now available in 14 languages and contains 39 free decryption tools. The organisers report that more than 10,000 victims have been able to decrypt their affected devices thanks to the tools made available free on the platform.
No More Ransom was launched in July 2016 by the Dutch National Police, the EU policing agency Europol, and IT firms Intel Security and Kaspersky Lab, as cooperation between law enforcement and the private sector to fight ransomware. Dozens of partners from all continents have joined. Statistics show that most visitors to the platform come from Russia, the Netherlands, the United States, Italy and Germany.
Previously available in English, Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese and Russian, the website has now been translated to Finnish, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Slovenian, Spanish and Ukrainian. More languages are expected to be made available soon.
