Zola is a ransomware variant associated with the Proton ransomware family, alongside Limba and Shinra. First reported in May 2024, it includes a Persian-keyboard kill switch that prevents encryption when Farsi input is enabled, indicating deliberate avoidance of systems configured for Persian-language use. Proton has been assessed as probably Iranian-origin, but code-family association alone does not establish attribution for Zola operations.
