Great resource, and thanks for sharing.
I thought the most recent wave was unusual in several ways.
1. It appears that payment wasn't well-thought out nor complete, and perhaps wasn't the primary reason.
2. It started in Ukraine, which is certainly the center of a lot of turmoil these days.
3. So far, there doesn't seem to be a flaw in the encryption, so with the payment portal turned off, folks whose machines were encrypted are out of luck with no chance of recovery. Hope they had a good off-line backup!

There was an interesting talk on the BBC yesterday on the recent internet ransom attacks. I didn't hear the talk myself but a friend told me about it. One of the interviewees was from Europol's European Cybercrime Centre and he recommended their website

which has decryption tools for a number of recent viruses.
Could be useful.
