Background
InfinityLock is a ransomware family that locks a victim's files through encryption and then demands payment to restore access. It propagates via phishing messages and compromised websites. After infecting a machine, it encrypts valuable content like documents, photos, and videos, then presents a note instructing the victim to pay $1,000 in Bitcoin to recover the data. Should the ransom go unpaid, the affected files are permanently lost.
