Interlock Ransomware
Under attack by ransomware or suffering a cyber breach?
Speed is critical when facing a live cyber attack. If you believe you’ve been compromised, by the Interlock ransomware group or another threat actor - contact us immediately.
About Interlock ransomware group
First appearing in September 2024, Interlock is a sophisticated ransomware operation that blends espionage-style tactics with an aggressive double extortion model. Victims of Interlock typically experience complete network disruption and threats to leak sensitive data if the ransom is not paid.
The threat actors behind Interlock ransomware are known for their precise, stealthy intrusions and high-pressure tactics, making them a dangerous adversary for mid-sized and large enterprises alike. The threat actors employ detailed reconnaissance before deploying ransomware encryptors and use ransom notes to instruct victims on payment, often including legal threats and warnings about public data leaks to increase pressure.
The ransomware threat actors utilise a double extortion model, leveraging both data leak sites and payment instructions served through a Tor browser for victim communication and to intensify extortion efforts.

How Interlock operators work
Interlock is an advanced ransomware group suspected to be run by a tightly coordinated, highly skilled group of cybercriminals. While no formal ties have been confirmed, some researchers believe Interlock may be operated by former affiliates of well-known ransomware gangs such as Conti or Royal, based on similarities in payload structure, encryption routines, and communication methods.
What distinguishes Interlock from many other groups is its hybrid approach: it combines traditional ransomware variants with advanced persistent threat (APT)-style tactics. The group doesn’t just encrypt files – it performs deep reconnaissance, stealing users’ online credentials, modifying Windows Registry keys, and disabling security solutions, often using a remote access trojan (RAT) or keylogger dynamic link library (DLL) before exfiltrating sensitive data.
Interlock threat actors employ both social engineering attempts, such as the ClickFix social engineering technique, and compromised legitimate websites to gain initial access. They often exploit compromised domain administrator accounts and implement domain-level modifications to facilitate lateral movement within the network.
The Interlock ransom group predominantly targets organisations in finance, professional services, critical infrastructure, health and human services, and national supply chains – industries where both operational disruption and data leakage pose severe business and regulatory risks.
We are equipped to deal with an attack from any ransomware group.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are under attack from a ransomware group not listed above.
Recognising an Interlock attack
Interlock ransomware attacks begin with spear-phishing, compromised sites, or stolen credentials, then unfold over weeks. Once inside, attackers use tools like Azure Storage Explorer for covert data transfer and conduct stealthy reconnaissance to escalate privileges and map servers, VMs, and backups.
To evade detection, Interlock actors deploy disguised payloads, disable endpoint protection, bypass firewalls, and enable remote access via RDP.
Interlock actors execute AzCopy, a Microsoft command-line utility, to exfiltrate data and stage for encryption. They also use malicious commands to compromise system integrity. Before encryption, actors encrypt systems with strong ciphers like AES-256, adding custom extensions such as .interlocked. Some victims have reported observed encrypting virtual machines as part of these attacks.
Interlock ransomware encryptors are designed to work across Windows and Linux operating systems, making them especially dangerous in hybrid environments.
Why you must not interfere with your ransomware environment
If you discover a physical break-in at your offices, your first instinct would be to call the police; touch nothing and let them search for clues. Then, your focus would shift to restoring business operations.
A cyber-attack requires the same approach. Your digital environment is a CRIME SCENE. It is crucial to leave the environment untouched to allow for a forensic investigation.
This is not a task for your IT team or MSP. Digital Forensic specialists are available 24/7 to assist you, just like in a physical crime.

Known threat actors
Ransomware groups behind the attacks
Below is a breakdown of the most active ransomware groups and the variants driving their attacks.
Post breach actions
-
Call a NCSC Cyber Incident Response approved supplier Some NCSC providers will fund up to 48 hours of investigation into your incident.
-
Report the incident to Report Fraud
-
Locate your business continuity plan Work out what you can do without access to your systems and data.
-
Identify your business insurance contact details
Who are we and what experience do we have in responding to cyber incidents?
We are accredited to ISO 27001 and recognised by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
We provide comprehensive cyber risk management services, with a core focus on Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). Our capabilities are driven by a 24/7 Security Operations Centre and a dedicated in-house intelligence team that delivers timely, actionable threat reporting.
With decades of collective cyber security experience, we have the expertise to assume operational ownership of your entire IT security architecture – simplifying and strengthening cyber security across your business.
As an Assured Service Provider for Cyber Incident Response (CIR) at the Standard Level. This accreditation demonstrates our ability to deliver high-assurance, effective support in response to a wide range of cyber threats.
Your NCSC-approved supplier is a specialist crime scene investigator who will:
- Isolate and preserve your environment for forensic investigation.
- Identify where the data has been duplicated and issue a legal takedown order.
- Identify your data, application and systems restore points. These might be at different points in time and will need to be carefully restored and reconstructed in a pristine environment.
- Liaise with your business insurance company and if needed, with the Police.
- Advise you on notifying your customers of your situation.
- Rebuild your systems, restore your data and get you back to full operation. Note: This process can take between 2 weeks – 2 months.
Working with us
Our response process
Our team are ransomware recovery specialists with a proven, streamlined approach to resolving incidents quickly and effectively.
Step 1: Triage
We deploy our incident response team the same day. From the first call, we begin onboarding, introduce key stakeholders, set communication schedules, and start gathering critical information to guide the response.
Step 2: Investigation
DFIR (Digital Forensic Incident Response) teams investigate breaches to identify vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and system impacts from ransomware such as Data Loss (PII). We deliver clear forensic insights to guide mitigation.
Step 3: Contain
Our onsite and remote teams act fast to stop the attack in its tracks. That includes isolating affected systems, removing malicious code, and putting protections in place to prevent further spread or damage.
Step 4: Remediate & Eradicate
Once contained, we work to fully eliminate the threat. This includes fixing exploited vulnerabilities, restoring systems to a secure state, and ensuring no traces of the attack remain.
Step 5: Recover
Our incident response teams help get your business back to normal. We restore access to systems, recover data, and ensure services are safe, stable, and functioning, with minimal downtime.
Step 6: Post Incident
We conduct a full review of the incident response and recovery efforts. Together we assess what happened, what worked, and what can be improved, helping you build stronger defences for the future.
Forensic analysis to drive recovery
Our process includes a thorough digital forensic analysis from step two where the output becomes a central component of business recovery. This is because understanding the attack is of critical importance:
Informing an initial infection date
The extent and spread of infection
Data exfiltration having an impact on regulatory positions
Ensuring that the attacker and any tooling or artefacts they leave behind are eradicated
It is critical that the analysis of digital evidence is carried out to an agreed plan.
Maximising early root cause discovery and legal leverage
The process is purpose-built to uncover the root cause as early as possible, which is essential to inform remediation / eradication and recovery as well as supporting a legal take-down case if this is applicable. A legal take-down means we can assist in the legal enforcement that stops the criminals from publishing the data, thus undermining the ransom notice.
Our Digital Forensic and Incident Response (DFIR) teams maintain consistent communication throughout. Dedicated Incident Managers and technical engineering leads provide updates during the Cyber Incident Response journey, utilising risk registers and working within change management processes, all from triage through to post-incident, delivering successful business recovery.
Key take aways
- You will not be able to access your systems or data.
- It is advised to disconnect from the internet and shut down your systems, including PCs, to prevent further infections.
- Your Office 365 system might also be compromised, allowing the attackers to monitor your responses. Avoid communicating with individuals through your primary email or team systems.
- Threat actors typically infiltrate your system at least 2-4 weeks before you become aware of the attack. Your data will have already been exfiltrated. If your system is encrypted, this was not an overnight event.
- Ransom demands in the UK typically range from £500,000 to £3 million, with some sectors, like education, facing demands that exceed £5 million
- Paying the ransom may violate financial sanctions, which is a criminal offence and could result in a custodial sentence or further financial penalties.
- If your data is sold or published online, it puts your customers and staff at risk, potentially implicating you in a Data Protection breach.
- You will need to submit a data takedown request to the initial location where the data was transferred.
- Do not overwrite the encrypted data. It is crucial to determine when the infection began and where the data was sent.
- Avoid rebuilding from the latest backup, as it is likely to be infected.
Why should I trust Zensec to do this work rather than my IT team?
A forensic analysis needs to be meticulous and a clean restore and recovery requires a wealth of experience not normally available in an in-house team who must provide a broader range of IT support skills:
Internal IT teams don’t have the necessary skill set to resolve security encryption issues themselves.
IT teams may recover to the same position with indicators of compromise ready to do it again… which can lead to another breach.
Internal teams are pressured to restore business operations and may recover before forensic analysis even begins, potentially destroying the crime scene before completion.

Yes. Interlock utilises a Ransomware‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) model. It operates via affiliates using customised Interlock ransomware encryptors, dedicated leak sites, and web-based negotiation portals. Their site, Worldwide Secrets Blog, functions as a data leak site showcasing stolen information.
To counter the Interlock actors threat, experts recommend implementing robust endpoint detection, identity credential and access management policies, and training users to report social engineering attempts. Interlock actors employ a double extortion model, combining data theft with ransomware deployment to increase pressure on victims. Network defenders should watch for known Interlock ransomware indicators, such as suspicious domain-level changes, AzCopy usage, and credential and access management anomalies.
The Interlock ransomware entered your system by one of several ways:
Phishing
Stolen Credentials
Exploitation of Vulnerable Remote Access Services
We recommend you adopt policies to:
Educate your staff on the importance of cyber security
Use strong passwords
Multi-factor authentication
Remove old users
Perform regular backups
Deploy timely updates to software and systems

Yes. There's a possibility that some of the lost data falls under the category of "Personal Data" belonging to your customers. It's your legal responsibility to safeguard this data, even if it has been lost. Additionally, you may need to notify the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/.

A ransomware attack presents the most significant threat to your business by:
Disabling your access to systems, which could hinder machinery operation or impede progress through your business processes.
Blocking access to critical data concerning suppliers, shipments, customers, orders, or steps in your business workflow.
In the event of a business interruption, identifying your position in the supply chain and sustaining operations can be challenging. If the disruption continues, maintaining business continuity becomes critical. Once systems and data are restored, addressing backlogs and establishing future operational protocols are essential.
Ransomware ranks only behind receivership in terms of its capacity to incapacitate a business.
