TeslaCrypt tamed

Cisco's Talos security team says it's now possible to decrypt data maimed by any version of the TeslaCrypt ransomware.

Security researchers and TeslaCrypt played cat and mouse across four versions. The authors of the net nasty have since thrown in the towel, and rival security vendor ESET released a decryption tool. Talos has now updated its own decryptor to cover versions one through four.

The decryptor and its source code can be found here. ®
