CryptXXX Is Now Undecryptable, Prevents Users from Accessing Their PC

Well, that is a shame but as I have always said the way to beat ransomware is to prevent it in the first place rather than trying to decrypt it.
 
Advertising the fact that such a piece of crapware is decryptable without paying the ransom is as 'a red rag to a bull' and the result was never in doubt...that the miscreants would patch the 'hole'. :(

Here they are again showing the red rag to the bull, they have now developed another decryption tool to fix this version.
I don't expect it will be long before a new version is brought out.

A few weeks ago a new threat appeared in the wild, it is the CryptXXX ransomware that was first spotted by the experts from Proofpoint in April. Researchers at ProofPoint discovered a number of compromised websites hosting the Angler exploit kit that were abused by crooks to serve the CryptXXX ransomware and infect Windows machines.
 
The CryptXXX ransomware has the ability to encrypt local files and any other document present on every connected data storage a short time after the PC has been infected. The threat also steals Bitcoins from the victim’s machines.
