Not even the FBI knows how to combat ransomware

Ransomware, for those of you who aren’t familiar, is a popular way for hackers to extort money from Internet users by encrypting important information on their computer and demanding that they pay a ransom in order to have those files decrypted. There’s no point in contacting the authorities either, as even the FBI has admitted that it can’t decrypt the files, and usually just advises victims to either pay the ransom or learn to live without those important files.
