New Site Recovers Files Locked by Cryptolocker Ransomware

(Krebs): http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/new-site-recovers-files-locked-by-cryptolocker-ransomware/

    "Until today, Microsoft Windows users whobve been unfortunate enough to
     have the personal files on their computer encrypted and held for
     ransom by a nasty strain of malware called CryptoLocker have been
     faced with a tough choice: Pay cybercrooks a ransom of a few hundred
     to several thousand dollars to unlock the files, or kiss those files
     goodbye forever. That changed this morning, when two security firms
     teamed up to launch a free new online service that can help victims
     unlock and recover files scrambled by the malware."
