Zerolockersec

MITRE ATT&CK does not currently catalogue Zerolockersec, so this is our assessment of the techniques it uses, drawn from public reporting. The techniques themselves, and every "what that means" definition below, come from MITRE ATT&CK v19.2. Confidence: low. Treat it as orientation, not attribution.

1. T1059.001 PowerShell Execution

   What they do: zerolockersec executes malicious commands via PowerShell scripts injected into legitimate processes.

   What that means: Adversaries may abuse PowerShell commands and scripts for execution.

2. T1685 Disable or Modify Tools Defense Impairment

   What they do: zerolockersec disables security tools like EDR agents and antivirus software to evade detection.

   What that means: Adversaries may disable, degrade, or tamper with security tools or applications (e.g., endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, intrusion detection systems (IDS), antivirus, logging agents, sensors, etc.) to impair or reduce visibility of defensive capabilities.

3. T1070.004 File Deletion Stealth

   What they do: zerolockersec deletes Volume Shadow Copies and backup directories to prevent recovery.

   What that means: Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity.

4. T1057 Process Discovery Discovery

   What they do: zerolockersec uses Process Discovery to identify critical services and running applications for targeting.

   What that means: Adversaries may attempt to get information about running processes on a system.

5. T1135 Network Share Discovery Discovery

   What they do: zerolockersec performs Network Share Discovery to locate accessible file shares across the victim network.

   What that means: Adversaries may look for folders and drives shared on remote systems as a means of identifying sources of information to gather as a precursor for Collection and to identify potential systems of interest for Lateral Movement.

6. T1567.002 Exfiltration to Cloud Storage Exfiltration

   What they do: zerolockersec exfiltrates sensitive victim data before encryption to increase ransom pressure.

   What that means: Adversaries may exfiltrate data to a cloud storage service rather than over their primary command and control channel.

7. T1486 Data Encrypted for Impact Impact

   What they do: zerolockersec encrypts victim files using strong symmetric cryptography to hold data hostage.

   What that means: Adversaries may encrypt data on target systems or on large numbers of systems in a network to interrupt availability to system and network resources.

8. T1490 Inhibit System Recovery Impact

   What they do: zerolockersec calls system recovery inhibitors to block automatic restoration attempts.

   What that means: Adversaries may delete or remove built-in data and turn off services designed to aid in the recovery of a corrupted system to prevent recovery.
