ShrinkLocker, a recently discovered ransomware, uses BitLocker, a Windows feature, to encrypt victims’ data. The malware targets systems in Mexico, Jordan, and Indonesia, reduces the size of non-boot partitions and creates new primary partitions.

Kaspersky recommends robust endpoint protection, traffic logging and monitoring, and regular backups to mitigate potential attacks.
