This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files.

Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system.

If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
