Unencrypting Extortion Malware
The good people at Kaspersky have once again provided a free utility to "unencrypt" extortion malware.  Trojan.Win32.Krotten  is used to extort cash from infected users. "Krotten differs from GPCode in that GPCode encrypted data saved to disk. Krotten corrupts the system registry." Details and a link to the utility are in their blog today.

Thanks Kaspersky!
