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

If they take the risk (pay up front) of not getting decryption key from the ransom wearers - id be impressed,

but I suspect it'll be a case of:

"Right we've tried our "technical stuff" and , surprise surprise , got nowhere . We need you to give us £100k to negotiate with.

"how'd it go"

"We sent the bitcoin , they didnt reply. Soooo anyway , nice working with you , sorry we didnt get a result this time , but do call us if it happens again . bye"
