SRLabs develops Black Basta ransomware decryptor

Security Research Labs has developed and released a decryptor to help victims of the prolific double-extortion ransomware gang, Black Basta, restore their compromised files for free. This cybercrime group, linked to numerous 2023 attacks, is believed to have made over $107m in ransom payments. The decryptor targets a weakness in Black Basta’s encryption algorithm, making possible the recovery of certain file types.
