DeadLock: How hackers use Polygon for 'elusive' cyberattacks.
In January 2026, cybersecurity experts (including Group-IB and Cisco Talos) raised the alarm: a new group of extortionists, DeadLock, invented a revolutionary way to hide their infrastructure by using the Polygon network.
The main feature of DeadLock is the EtherHiding technique. Instead of hardcoding the addresses of their command servers (C2) directly into the virus code (which can be easily blocked by antivirus software), the attackers place them in Polygon smart contracts. The malware accesses the blockchain, reads the current address of the proxy server, and only then establishes a connection with the hackers.

⚠️ RANSOMWARE DEADLOCK HIDES VIA POLYGON SMART CONTRACTS
According to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity firm Group-IB has identified a ransomware strain called “#DeadLock” that leverages #Polygon smart contracts to conceal its activity and rotate proxy addresses.
The malware dynamically updates its command-and-control communication addresses by interacting with specific smart contracts. Once a victim is infected and data is encrypted, DeadLock issues ransom demands and threatens to sell stolen data if demands are not met.
While the number of known victims remains limited, this novel attack method poses a potential risk to organizations with insufficient security measures.
