  Executive summary The BlackLock ransomware family has evolved into a “triple threat” operation targeting servers, endpoints, and cloud workloads simultaneously . Unlike older strains, BlackLock now combines data encryption, data exfiltration, and infrastructure disruption , making it one of the most dangerous campaigns observed in 2025. This report provides a breakdown of attack mechanics, targeted infrastructure, real-world impact, and actionable defense measures. 1. Why it’s called the “Triple Threat” BlackLock ransomware is not just about encrypting files: Encryption (classic ransomware): Locks files and systems across Windows/Linux servers and workstations. Data exfiltration (double extortion): Steals sensitive data, threatening public leaks if ransom isn’t paid. Infrastructure sabotage (new evolution): Disrupts backups, hypervisors, and Kubernetes clusters — crippling recovery efforts and cloud-native environments. 2. Attack vectors & infection cha...
