Threat Score
VECT 2.0 is a ransomware-as-a-service that, due to a critical encryption implementation flaw, permanently destroys files over 131KB across Windows, Linux and ESXi variants, making ransom payment ineffective; the actor operates an affiliate program, partners with BreachForums and TeamPCP for supply-chain distribution, and implements anti-analysis and persistence mechanisms while exhibiting novice operator characteristics.
