VECT 2.0 is a multi-platform ransomware-as-a-service whose flawed ChaCha20-IETF implementation overwrites nonces for files over 128 KB, permanently destroying large files instead of producing recoverable ciphertext; it targets Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi, spreads laterally, and has established partnerships (BreachForums, TeamPCP) that expand its operational reach and supply-chain access, making robust backup isolation and endpoint monitoring critical.
