Understanding Interlock Ransomware: A New Threat Landscape #ransomware #cybersecurity #cyberthreats

The Interlock ransomware marks a disturbing evolution in attack design—it's not just about encryption anymore. This variant blends in-browser coercion, real-time surveillance, and extortion-by-design, creating a multilayered threat that’s harder to trace and even harder to negotiate with. It exploits how people already behave online, rather than forcing unnatural actions. Greyhound Fieldnotes reveal a rising concern among CISOs about browser-layer risk, especially as PDF previews and plugin use become attack vectors. Per Greyhound Pulse 2025, enterprise buyers are urgently reviewing endpoint protocols and pushing vendors to isolate browser-based access from critical assets, marking a shift in ransomware defence strategy.
