LockerGoga is a financially motivated ransomware operation associated with targeted big-game hunting against large organizations. It was used to compromise more than 250 U.S. companies and hundreds of additional organizations worldwide during activity documented from 2019 to 2020. Victims included major U.S. corporations, healthcare institutions, and foreign industrial firms. The operation used victim-specific ransomware executables and unique decryption keys, encrypting victim data and offering decryption tools in return for payment. Operators have used PsExec for lateral movement. LockerGoga was linked through shared personnel and administration to the MegaCortex and Nefilim ransomware operations. Ukrainian national Volodymyr Viktorovich Tymoshchuk, also known as deadforz, Boba, msfv, and farnetwork, has been charged by U.S. authorities with serving as an administrator for all three operations. Law enforcement released LockerGoga decryption keys through the No More Ransom project in 2022.
