Researchers for Avast have developed a decryptor for the Akira ransomware and released it for public download. The Akira ransomware appeared in March 2023 and since then, the gang claims successful attacks on various organizations in the education, finance and real estate industries, amongst others.
Very charitable of Avast. I don’t think highly of them because of privacy issues, but it looks like they’re giving this out standalone instead of packing it with adware.
