Deadlock is an active ransomware group first documented by vendors in late 2024, known for a Go-written encryptor and double-extortion tactics. Early campaigns spread through pirated-software and torrent downloads bundled with an installer that displayed a fake 'I'm not a robot' CAPTCHA before executing the malware, and a later variant with a new loader and updated encryptor was described by Trend Micro in 2025. The group exfiltrates victim data before encryption and posts non-payers to its Tor leak site, with ransom negotiations historically handled via Tox messenger and, in later variants, email. Public reporting does not attribute a country of origin, and no earnings figures have been published. This dashboard's tracking shows sustained activity, with 103 leak-site posts in the past 90 days and the most recent post on 2026-09-01.
Tactics & tooling
- Delivered via pirated software and torrent downloads bundled with an installer (2024-2025 campaigns)
- Fake 'I'm not a robot' CAPTCHA (legit.exe) used to gain user trust and execution (Progress/Telerik research, 2024)
- Go-based encryptor; later variant adds a new loader and updated encryptor (Trend Micro, 2025)
- Double extortion: data exfiltration before encryption, leak-site posting if ransom unpaid
- Ransom-note contact via Tox messenger; later variants direct victims to contact email addresses
- High-volume, size-agnostic targeting across multiple countries rather than sector- or region-specific campaigns
