Consulting company Dr. Shifro has exploited its clients by claiming that it can bypass the encryption of files made with some ransomware. Ransomware-as-a-service offered by them is such a big feat due to the fact there are no decryption keys available for Dharma/Crisis type of ransomware.

According to Check Point, Dr. Shifro contacted the creator of the ransomware instead in order to decrypt the victim’s files, paying the intended ransom amount, and then charged its clients with commission of as much as USD 1,000!

Check Point predicts that the number of companies offering similar services may increase quite rapidly because this type of business model is a fantastic get-rich -quick scheme.
