"ShrinkLocker Ransomware Exploits BitLocker to Encrypt Files"
A new ransomware strain called ShrinkLocker is exploiting Windows BitLocker to encrypt and steal files, primarily targeting government agencies and firms in manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. Unlike typical ransomware, ShrinkLocker does not drop a ransom note but instead uses email addresses as new boot partition labels for communication. It also deletes all BitLocker protectors, making recovery impossible without the attackers' key. The ransomware has affected organizations in Mexico, Indonesia, and Jordan.
