Netherland-based Maastricht University (UM) is set to recover nearly €500,000 worth of Bitcoin (BTC) after the police authorities managed to solve the infamous ransomware attack in December 2019.

In 2019, a ransomware hack targeted the said university and froze all its research data, emails and library resources. The hackers demanded €200,000 in BTC and the university decided to pay the said amount fearing losing critical research data.
