A spokeswoman for Kaseya, Dana Liedholm, did not say how the key was acquired or whether a ransom was paid, only that it came from a “trusted third party” and the company would share it with all victims. Ransomware analysts said possible explanations for how the master key had appeared, including that Keseya paid, a government paid or victims pooled funds.
