Has anyone here looked at the software? It requires you to manually run a command from the command prompt for every file. Decryptolocker.exe --key " " If I have thousands of files, that will take forever, anyway to batch decrypt?

Of course, the conspiracy theorist might say that it's a bit too convenient to suppose the hitherto extremely clever criminals helpfully and stupidly copied their private keys across to computers controlled by 'the feds'. A bit like those supposedly 'random' police stopping of vehicles which turn out to be full of drugs or explosives. Maybe public/private key pairs aren't as secure as we've been lead to believe.
Or maybe they got their hands on the keys some other way they're not willing to disclose.

I know they are doing this as a community service... because, I assume they feel it is their honor and duty to do so... but why the hell do these guys NOT have at least a donate link/button on their site!!!!! This is crazy. I know they are going to get awesome press which would have normally cost thousands but it never hurts to throw up a link and see how much your appreciated.
Does anyone have any conversion stats for those donate buttons? I don't think many people actually use them, especially if the traffic is mainly curious readers sent there by mainstream press.
Key from one of the comments "It’s not too late if you still have the encrypted files, as I suspect many people do, hoping that someday a program like this would come along." That is awesome. I'm sure a large percentage of people with irreplaceable files hung onto them, hope these guys get the exposure they deserve for the site. #1 on HN is a good start.
She kept her files hanging around, just in case someone broke the encryption later on. A smart move from someone foolish enough to open a ".pdf.exe" file from an email reeking of fraud.

The faq mentions an "-r" parameter :)
Decryptolocker.exe --key ""
Everytime I paste the key in, the command prompt executes each line. Any ideas how to preserve the line breaks?

Perfect, I have the recursive part working, but I can't get the key pasted in the command prompt. Decryptolocker.exe --key " " Everytime I paste the key in, the command prompt executes each line. Any ideas how to preserve the line breaks?

Put the command in a .bat file with notepad and run that in the cmd window?
