Interlock Ransomware Targets US Healthcare, IT and Government Sectors

A new ransomware group called Interlock has been observed by threat analysts conducting targeted attacks across sectors including US healthcare, IT and government and European manufacturing.

According to a report published by Cisco Talos today, Interlock employs both “big-game hunting” and double extortion tactics, where compromised data is stolen and threatened to be released publicly unless a ransom is paid.

This group operates a data leak site known as “Worldwide Secrets Blog” to publish stolen data. It offers victim support through chat options, showcasing a methodical approach to targeting vulnerabilities in organizations’ cybersecurity.

Cisco Talos identified that Interlock’s attack chain generally spans around 17 days, during which they gain unauthorized access and deploy ransomware to encrypt files.
