    Files encrypted by TeslaCrypt (.aaa extension) ransomware

    TeslaCrypt includes several known versions and extension variants...unfortunately
    there is no way to decrypt the newer .aaa, .abc, .ccc variants
    without Tesla's private key. Earlier variants stored the private key as data files on the local disk which enabled victims to decrypt their files with the locally stored private key. These newer variants no longer store any data files
    on the local disk and information stored in the registry as binary data only contains public keys and each shared secret. The only other alternative is to save your data as is and wait for a possible breakthrough...meaning, what seems like an impossibility
    at the moment (decryption of your data), there is always hope someday there may be a possible solution so save the encrypted data and wait until that time.

    QUOTE from
    TeslaCrypt 2.0 disguised as CryptoWall

    "TeslaCrypt 2.0. This version is different from previous ones in that it uses a significantly improved encryption scheme, which means that it is currently impossible to decrypt files affected by TeslaCrypt. It also uses an HTML page instead
    of a GUI. Incidentally, the HTML page was copied from another Trojan – Cryptowall."

    QUOTE from
    TeslaCrypt 2.0 ransomware: stronger and more dangerous

    "First, they’ve adopted the sophisticated elliptic curve encryption algorithm from creators of the famous and very troublesome CTB-Locker ransomware. Secondly,
    they’ve changed the method of key storaging: now they are

    using the system registry instead of a file on disk. Thirdly, TeslaCrypt creators have stolen the web page which victims see after their files have been encrypted from another ransomware family, CryptoWall."
