<ul><li>A security researcher has released a free decryptor for Linux Akira ransomware that uses GPU power to recover keys through brute force.</li><li>The researcher, Yohanes Nugroho, implemented a decryption technique that exploits the use of timestamp-based seeds by Akira ransomware to generate unique encryption keys for each file.</li><li>By analyzing log files, file metadata, and hardware benchmarks, the researcher estimated encryption timestamps, making the brute-forcing of decryption keys more efficient.</li><li>To speed up the process, Nugroho used sixteen RTX 4090 GPUs through cloud GPU services, reducing the decryption time to 10 hours.</li></ul>
