- In a first, a ransomware family is confirmed to be quantum-safe
A new ransomware family named Kyber claims to use quantum-safe encryption via ML-KEM, a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism endorsed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Kyber's approach aims to resist attacks from quantum computers, positioning it as a successor to vulnerable RSA and Elliptic Curve cryptosystems.
