dataf locker
DataF Locker is a ransomware variant first observed in 2024, closely tied to the Babuk ransomware lineage. It operates under a double-extortion model, encrypting files by appending the .dataf extension and threatening to leak exfiltrated data if the ransom isn't paid. Victims receive a ransom note named How To Restore Your Files.txt, with satisfaction of specified recovery procedures. Observations suggest use of typical intrusion vectors such as phishing, exploit tools, or leaked credential abus
