ShrinkLocker ransomware scrambled your files? Free decryption tool to the rescue

Bitdefender published an analysis and free decryptor for the ShrinkLocker ransomware, a relatively low‑sophistication strain that uses VBScript and Windows BitLocker to encrypt files and leverages Group Policy Objects and scheduled tasks to spread rapidly across networks; Kaspersky observed it targeting industrial and government organizations in several countries.
