DeadLock Ransomware Uses Rust and Decentralized Infrastructure

DeadLock ransomware, written in Rust, employs a decentralized infrastructure for victim communications and data leak operations, utilizing the Session messaging network and blockchain services. This architecture enhances its resilience against disruption. The ransomware engages in double extortion, encrypting files and threatening to leak stolen data, with over 80 organizations already targeted on its data leak site, primarily in Europe.
