Lockdata

Lockdata is a ransomware group that emerged in September 2021, operating with primarily financial motivations through targeted attacks against organizations. The group appears to operate independently with limited public information available regarding their country of origin or affiliations with other cybercriminal organizations. Based on available intelligence, Lockdata has demonstrated a preference for targeting financial sector organizations, though their specific attack methodologies, initial access vectors, and encryption techniques remain largely undocumented by major security researchers and government agencies. The group has claimed responsibility for five known victims, with their operations primarily focused on targets in the United Kingdom and United States. Due to the limited public reporting on this group's activities, details regarding notable high-profile campaigns, ransom demands, or significant law enforcement actions are not available through established threat intelligence sources. The current operational status of Lockdata remains unclear given the sparse public documentation of their recent activities.
