      How exactly were the keys "obtained?" Aren't they generated by a hashed value dependent on the infected system?

      I don't mean the keys that the authors received from their deployments' uploads; if someone else is rooted, how do they get their key now?

      Oh right- FDISK...

        probably an eliptic curve based encryption - there will be a seed key.
        same as sony uses on the ps3

          Perhaps the keys were phoned home and on file in a database?

            How else could have Kapersky obtained them? They had to be on record unencrypted. Perhaps the ransom-ware keys were limited to 14,000 of them and were selected in sequence or at random at the source, then encrypted during the infection process. These are questions for Kapersky Labs.
