WastedLocker is a ransomware operation widely linked to the Russia-based cybercrime group Evil Corp. It has been identified as one of multiple ransomware groups that leveraged access provided by the SocGholish (FakeUpdates) malware ecosystem, indicating a workflow in which third-party malware infections or traffic-distribution infrastructure can be used to obtain initial access before ransomware deployment. WastedLocker is known for anti-recovery behavior, including deletion of shadow volumes to hinder restoration of encrypted systems. The group is notable for its association with Evil Corp, a sanctioned Russian cybercrime organization previously tied to Dridex and later ransomware activity. WastedLocker is best known for high-profile enterprise ransomware incidents, including the attack on Garmin.
