Garmin obtains decryption key after ransomware attack

To be honest, it's probably a third part company.

Funny enough, back when ransomware was simpler and used the same encryption key, we managed to recover one place by using Memory Forensics on a fucked machine.

I wonder if extracting the key, decrypting the files to not pay $100,000 in BTC would be illegal in some way.

Of course. In the US it violates DMCA.

Yes ransomware has copyrights too and often its closed source, so take the key out (disassemble) would be illegal ;)

This is simply not true.
