AlphaLocker is a low-cost ransomware operation built on the EDA2 open-source project, known for enabling entry-level cybercriminals. It primarily targets small to medium-sized businesses using double-extortion tactics, offering an admin panel, ransomware executable, and decryption key generator to affiliates. Key TTPs include the sale of the ransomware toolkit and the use of data exfiltration alongside encryption to pressure victims. Defenders should focus on securing RDP and email-based initial access vectors and implement robust data exfiltration monitoring to counter its tradecraft.
