Threat Score
The report examines the Kyber ransomware family which claims to use post‑quantum Kyber1024/ML‑KEM to secure victims' AES file‑encryption keys; Rapid7 analysis found the implementation instead wraps a randomly generated AES key with RSA‑4096, indicating the 'post‑quantum' claim is likely a marketing/psychological tactic to increase ransom payments rather than a technically superior encryption method.
