CoinVault gives you one free file decryption

Kind of funny, but at least it lets you know that the decryption works

Interesting. It's almost like a kidnapping proof-of-life video. Here, we'll hold your files hostage, but give us your money and we'll decrypt your files. Honest!

Makes sense. I bet that that is quite effective.

Honestly it seems like a good idea. If I get my files encrypted it's nice to know that the actual person who did it is the one contacting me and to know that the process is actually reversible and that everything wasn't just scrambled.

Like I said, it's the classic demand of proof-of-life from a kidnapping
