GPCode.ak solution in another way ...

Currently, it's not possible to decrypt files encrypted by Gpcode.ak without the private key. However, there is a way in which encrypted files can be restored to their original condition. When encrypting files, Gpcode.ak creates a new file next to the file that it intends to encrypt. Gpcode writes the encrypted data from the original file data to this new file, and then deletes the original file. It's known that it is possible to restore a deleted file as long as the data on disk has not been significantly modified. This is why, right from the beginning, we recommended users not to reboot their computers, but to contact us instead. We told users who contacted us to use a range of utilities to restore deleted files from disk. Unfortunately, nearly all the available utilties are shareware – we wanted to offer an effective, accessible utility that could help restore files that had been deleted by Gpcode. Please have a look at the blog's posting from my colleague Vitaly at Kaspersky's Viruslist Blog from 13 June 2008.
Kaspersky got a lot of comments and critics even from respected and known security people like Bruce Schneier, Vesselin Bontchev and others but what none of them were looking at was the easy solution: just try to recover the files before they were encrypted. I fully agree with them that searching for the decryption key using brute-force computing power would be very unrealistic but still, I like at least the idea of an international cooperation between a lot of security companies ... maybe it's 'insecure' thinking from myself if you know what I mean. ;-)
