Since 2016, the descriptors available in the No More Ransom repository (→eucrim news of 10 September 2019) have succeeded in helping more than six million people recover their files for free and prevented criminals from earning almost a billion euros through ransomware attacks. Today, No More Ransom comprises 121 free tools able to decrypt 151 ransomware families and unites 170 partners from the public and private sectors. The portal is available in 37 languages. On the occasion of its fifth anniversary, a revamped No More Ransom website with the following features was launched:

  • Prevention advice;
  • Q&A on ransomware;
  • Support for reporting a crime;
  • A “Crypto Sheriff” to help define the type of ransomware affecting a device.
