The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a statement about the Mamba ransomware, also known as HDDCryptor, as a weakness has been found in the ransomware’s encryption process. This weakness means that organisations targeted by the ransomware can recover from an attack without having to pay the ransom. The weakness has been found in the open-source software solution, called DiskCryptor, that Mamba uses to encrypt victim’s computers using a key defined by the attacker.
