Highly unlikely. While in a few cases the criminals were sloppy and one could easily obtain the key, in most cases strong cryptography is being used, which makes restoring data impossible with current hardware.
Sysadmins should focus on having reliable backups, keeping their systems patched up and doing everything in their power to make the criminals' lives more difficult.

Maybe if these bitcoin people did not permit criminals to use bitcoin accounts, for this kind of thing it would also help make the criminals' lives more difficult. Seems like bitcoins make life much easier for these crime gangs to operate, and encourage more online crime. Just a thought.

With first glance at the title I thought the Lilo boot loader got infected.
I remember something similar happened to Windows systems und caused a lot of damage. What was it's name? Wanacrypt? |

Yep, AKA WannaCry. A real scourge, and unfortunately not the first one of its kind nor the last.
