Good news for the victims of the Hive ransomware, the South Korean cybersecurity agency KISA has released a free decryptor for versions from v1 till v4.
In February a team of researchers from Kookmin University (South Korea) discovered a flaw in the encryption algorithm used by Hive ransomware that allowed them to decrypt data without knowing the private key used by the gang to encrypt files.
The technique devised by the team of academics was able to recover more than 95% of the keys used

for the encryption process that is represented in the following image:
(HIVE Ransomware Decryption Tool)
This is going to be hard for "Hive" as they will have to update their Ransomware to make sure that the company they go for doesn't use this to remove the problem.

Damn, did HIVE use their own encryption library or something? If so, this is not so surprising but if they've used some mainstream lib like NaCl and they still managed to crack it could literally shake the world.
