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.
