The No More Ransom Project, a coalition of security companies and law enforcement, which was launched through a partnership with the European Cybercrime Centre, the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands police, Kaspersky Lab and Intel Security has added 30 new members and 32 new decryption tools to combat ransomware variants.

The Project includes a website to assist companies with fighting ransomware. The website provides a tool to assist users with determining which type of ransomware has hit their system, how to prevent ransomware and instructions on reporting incidents to law enforcement personnel.

The partners working on the No More Ransom Project have provided additional decryption tools that have been used by over 6,000 victims to recover files locked down by ransomware.
