A comment on Decrypting encrypted files from Akira ransomware using a bunch of GPUs. Parent comment
New versions of Akira and any other ransomware are constantly being developed. This code is specific to a certain version of the malware.
As noted in the article, it also requires:
1. An extremely capable sysadmin 2. A bunch of GPU capacity 3. That the timestamps be brute-forced separately
So it's not exactly a turn-key defeat of Akira.
