In TeslaCrypt's case, unfortunately, the latest 3.0 version has patched the design flaw -- but victims of previous versions may now be able to decrypt their files for free.

Interesting.  Wonder what the differences are between TeslaCrypt and Cryptowall - if any?
As far as I'm aware, the one I was facing is still impossible for mere mortals to fix/decrypt.

From a quick google they appear to be very different, but I guess it gives hope for some users, and if anyone ever found themselves in this situation it would be worth just buying a new HDD, restoring what they can from a backup, and then parking it in the hope that someone might crack it one day.

Lincolnshire council get caught - and a £1m ransom demand.
