The evil bitcrypt malware, which encrypts files on hijacked pc and offers the decryption key
for a payment of 260 € has a serious flaw in the encryption design, Heise reported.
Fabien Perigaud und Cedric Pernet from bitbucket.org managed to find out that the used RSA-Key
had a length of 128 instead of 128 Byte; So they were able to crack the 426 bit key in 43 hours.
The free python-script is here available. Cool stuff 🙂
