Abstract

“ Some of the later versions of LockerGoga, while still employing the same encryption, have also been observed forcibly logging the victim off of the infected systems and removing their ability to log back in to the system following the encryption process. The consequence is that in many cases, the victim may not even be able to view the ransom note, let alone attempt to comply with any ransom demands. These later versions of LockerGoga could then be described as destructive.
