Sophisticated Interlock Ransomware Platform Expands Threat Landscape, Security Experts Warn

Security researchers report Interlock ransomware has transformed from a mid-tier threat to a sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise platform. The malicious operation now targets multiple operating systems and uses professional business communications during attacks. Experts urge organizations to implement behavioral analysis and conditional access controls to mitigate risks.
