It is estimated that malware developers have made limited efforts to test Ransomware. This is because the ultimate goal of threat actors is not limited to just performing encryption activities. In this context, HermoticRansom victims can recover their encrypted data with the decryption tool released by Avast. In addition, Avast has published a guide with operating instructions for the published tool.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
