For those that this can help, here are some unlock codes communicated by the hacker following payments:
Year 2016:
=-0987654321!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!
Year 2020:
122Φxî◙╧▬╫¶╘≥N^&_%#$%#%$$φ"♫╡▀CUS01åå▌Qqe¥>╞ì<$^@@╞♪*.$ú¡Z↔╝↓ë2ßφ1ór¥·2¼88849
I invite anyone who paid for unlock keys to publish them publicly on the internet.
Thus, the faster the unlock code circulates and is available to as many people as possible, the less likely the hacker will receive payment.
Because some unlocking keys may eventually work for other people. This has even been confirmed by some people.
Because the password used for encryption used by the hacker in some variants of his malware is probably the same each time. And the hacker will certainly not store a different password at home for each infected person, it seems to me too complicated to manage and technically very complicated for him to know which person corresponds to which password. This would require the hacker to maintain a database in which the hacker should link a blocked person's PC to the previous password used. Unthinkable.
Hence probably the use of the same password to block multiple people.
Finally, publishing unlocking passwords is doing a service to many people potentially in the same situation and helping to reduce the business of hackers.
Let's stand together! Thank you.
