Biz tells ransomware victims it can decrypt their files... by secretly paying off the crooks and banking a fat margin

Risk/Reward

This is a high-risk $900 gamble. There's little more than the trust of a criminal's word that you'd actually get a usable decryptor tool. It's not like there's a Reviews site of satisfied customers saying the criminals' decryptor is legit.

$3000 profit on a transaction that could easily turn into a burn is not steep at all, in my opinion. Thumbs up to this company for offering such a service to desperate companies with nowhere else to go to acquire and handle the Bitcoin Transaction.
