      @BBigford said in TeslaCrypt shuts down and Releases Master Decryption Key:

      I heard a lot people say that they gave it up to relieve some legal pressure. But you can't commit crimes then just apologize and wash your hands. You can't save face by admitting guilt in this case. You'd get in trouble by admitting you were at fault and release the keys.

      I agree that this is just to make the old code completely useless. Want to keep using software? You're gonna be buying all new software. Bold move!

      It often does receive legal pressure because the total loss to a company is not so large. Because civil suits require there to be a damages number, making the damages smaller greatly reduces the value of a lawsuit which in turn reduces the likelihood of someone pursuing one.

      Ouch, that is pretty serious. That explains why they were so quick to release a tool for cleaning it up!
