Well, colour me blue. Apparently some people are getting unlocked, with manually generated keys. https://twitter.com/mikko/status/864107673146490880
Two observations here.
1) It would be poor business sense to not unlock computers...people just wouldn't pay the ransom.
2) Why on earth aren't they using smart contracts tied to the bitcoin blockchain to automate the unlocking process?
