A decryptor has been released for the Maze, Egregor, and Sekhmet ransomware families in yet another sign that cybercriminals are rattled by recent law enforcement action.

Maze was once considered one of the most active and notorious data-stealing ransomware groups. The gang, which began operating in May 2019, gained infamy for introducing the double-extortion model, in which hackers first exfiltrate a victim’s data and threaten to publish the stolen files unless the ransom was paid. Typical ransomware groups infect a victim with file-encrypting malware and hold the files in exchange for cryptocurrency.
