The criminal's private key is needed for decryption. Without the criminal's master private key, decryption is impossible. That usually means the key is unique (specific) for each victim and generated in a secure way (RSA, AES, Salsa20, ChaCha20, EDA2, ECDH, ECC) that cannot be brute-forced...the public key alone that encrypted files is useless for decryption...the public key alone that encrypted files is useless for decryption.
 

There is an ongoing discussion in this topic where victims can post comments, ask questions and seek further assistance. Other victims have been directed there to share information, experiences and suggestions.

Rather than have everyone with individual topics, it would be best (and more manageable for staff) if you posted any more questions, comments or requests for assistance in the above support topic discussion...it includes experiences by experts, IT consultants, victims and company representatives who have been affected by ransomware infections. To avoid unnecessary confusion, this topic is closed.
 
Thanks
