Mount Locker is a financially motivated ransomware group that first emerged in July 2020 as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation. It quickly gained attention for its use of a double extortion tactic, encrypting victim data and exfiltrating sensitive information to threaten public release if ransom demands were not met. The group notably transitioned its operations and rebranded to AstroLocker in April 2021. The group is distinguished by its rapid exfiltration capabilities and high ransom demands, often seeking millions of dollars from compromised organizations. Mount Locker affiliates were known for their speed in executing attacks and their adaptability in evolving their malware to evade detection and broaden targeting.
