The Rust Revolution: New Embargo Ransomware Steps In

This Cyble Research & Intelligence Labs report analyzes Embargo, a Rust-based, cross-platform ransomware using double extortion: it encrypts files with ChaCha20/Curve25519 (appending ".564ba1"), kills backup/DB processes and services, disables Windows recovery, drops a HOW_TO_RECOVER_FILES.txt ransom note, and maintains a leak site; the report includes technical behavior, command-line options, excluded paths/extensions, three sample hashes, a YARA rule, suspected Linux/ESXi variants, and recommended mitigation steps.
