A Petya decryption key has been made public by Janus Cybercrime Solutions as per this Twitter post. We have not verified this in-house, so you are on your own if you are wanting to access that file, but I am trying to get verification. All this came via betanews. Thanks cagey!

Janus Cybercrime Solutions has provided a key that work with all "official" variants of Petya (meaning NotPetya is not included). The key was released to -- of all places -- Mega, and its authenticity has been verified. While Petya has already been cracked, the key offers the fastest and most reliable decryption method yet.

Janus said back in June that he/she/they would take a look at NotPetya to see if it was possible to decrypt it, but nothing has yet come of this. In the meantime, a tweet provided a link to the hosting site Mega, where a password-protected file was housed:
 
I thought consensus was Petya didn't have a key and you should just junk the data and move on.... now there is a key? Well, hopefully no one took the early advise.
 
It doesn't. Read the linked post. The key is only for the original Petya virus, not the the 2017 variant as that does not have a ater key it seems.
