Deadlock is a ransomware threat group that has disclosed 76 victims in publicly accessible leak site data, representing 0.4% of all ransomware attacks tracked in this database. The earliest victim disclosure attributed to Deadlock in our dataset dates to July 2026.

Industry-wise, Deadlock shows a concentration in the Business Services, Manufacturing, Public Sector sectors. These industries are frequently targeted because they manage sensitive data, critical operations, or have lower tolerance for operational downtime — conditions that increase ransom payment likelihood.

Like most modern ransomware operations, Deadlock likely employs a double extortion model: encrypting victim files while simultaneously exfiltrating data, creating dual pressure to pay the ransom. Victim organisations that refuse payment face having their data published on the group's dark web leak site.
