Meet Interlock — The new ransomware targeting FreeBSD servers
A relatively new ransomware operation named Interlock attacks organizations worldwide, taking the unusual approach of creating an encryptor to target FreeBSD servers.
Launched at the end of September 2024, Interlock has since claimed attacks on six organizations, publishing stolen data on their data leak site after a ransom was not paid. One of the victims is Wayne County, Michigan, which suffered a cyberattack at the beginning of October.
Not much is known about the ransomware operation, with some of the first information coming from incident responder Simo in early October, who found a new backdoor [VirusTotal] deployed in an Interlock ransomware incident.

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.
