How Medusalocker is documented to operate

Parent PID Spoofing T1134.004 Stealth Privilege Escalation

Adversaries may spoof the parent process identifier (PPID) of a new process to evade process-monitoring defenses or to elevate privileges. New processes are typically spawned directly from their parent, or calling, process unless explicitly specified. One way of explicitly assigning the PPID of a new process is via the <codeCreateProcess</code API call, which supports a parameter that defines the PPID to use. This functionality is used by Windows features such as User Account Control (UAC) to correctly set the PPID after a requested elevated process is spawned by SYSTEM (typically via <codesvchost.exe</code or <codeconsent.exe</code) rather than the current user context.

Incident analysis

Hirschinjurylaw was listed by Medusalocker ransomware, a group with 95 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on November 4, 2026.

Hirschinjurylaw is based in United States and operates in the Professional Services sector. United States ranks #1 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 10,328 victims in this database.

Sector context. Organisations in this sector hold valuable data and operational systems that ransomware groups seek to exploit for financial gain through encryption and data exfiltration.

Medusalocker typically follows a double extortion model: data is exfiltrated from the victim's systems before files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished. The leak site, where this listing appeared, is the lever for the second demand.
