Ransomware<\/a> is a type of malware that locks the victims' computer or encrypts their data, demanding them to pay a ransom in order to regain control over the affected device or files. It\u2019s a top threat for EU citizens and one of the top priorities for law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n No More Ransom<\/a> (NMR) is an initiative by Europol\u2019s European Cybercrime Centre, the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands\u2019 police and McAfee to help victims of ransomware retrieve their encrypted data without having to pay to the criminals. NMR showcases the value of public-private cooperation in disrupting criminal businesses with ransomware connections. Victims should no longer be forced to either pay a ransom or lose their files. By restoring access to their infected systems free of charge, we provide users with a third choice they did not have before.<\/p>\n\n Launched in July 2016<\/a>, the free resources have assisted more than 6 million people, growing up to over 170 supporting partners<\/a> from law enforcement, private sector and academia. The resources are available in 37 different languages, and it counts with more than 120 tools capable of decrypting over 150 different types of ransomware.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
