From #CheckPoint #CheckMates: Last Chance to Register for The State Of Ransomware Q1 2026
Join CheckMates as they welcome back Check Point Research to the TechTalk stage to discuss #ransomware, which remains one of the most disruptive cyber risks organizations face. The way attacks are executed is changing. In Q1 2026, ransomware activity continued at high levels while consolidating around a smaller number of highly capable groups. This shift is increasing the impact of individual incidents and reshaping how organizations should assess and manage risk.
In this session, Check Point Research will present key insights from the State of Ransomware Q1 2026 report, followed by a practical discussion on how security teams can apply these findings to reduce exposure and business impact. Attendees will gain both strategic context and actionable guidance on defending against modern ransomware operations.

From #CheckPoint #CheckMates:
Business Email Compromise (BEC) remains one of the most effective and costly attack vectors, exploiting human behavior and bypassing traditional email security controls. Once a user engages, attackers move fast, making detection alone insufficient to prevent impact.
Join my colleagues for a live webinar featuring Christian Crawford and Jesse Weeks, Security Engineers from Check Point's Workspace Security team, as they reveal how AI-driven email security detects and prevents BEC attacks in real time, without relying on manual intervention.
- What makes BEC one of the most effective and costly attack vectors
- How to reduce response time without increasing operational complexity
- Why AI-driven email security is necessary to detect and prevent BEC attacks

VECT Ransomware is a Wiper, Not Ransomware — Don’t Bother Paying, Says Check Point Research
You can read their blog post at https://blog.checkpoint.com/security/vect-ransomware-why-paying-wont-get-your-files-back/ or their full report at https://research.checkpoint.com/2026/vect-ransomware-by-design-wiper-by-accident/
(h/t, @cybernews)
I contacted VECT and asked them for their response to #CheckPoint's report. Their response was, um... short? :)

VECT: Ransomware by design, Wiper by accident
Check Point Research discovered critical flaws in VECT 2.0 ransomware affecting Windows, Linux, and ESXi platforms. A fundamental encryption implementation error causes files larger than 128 KB to be permanently destroyed rather than encrypted. The malware uses ChaCha20-IETF cipher but only saves one of four decryption nonces required for large files, making recovery impossible even after ransom payment. VECT's encryption speed modes are non-functional, thread scheduling degrades performance, and anti-analysis code is unreachable. Despite partnerships with TeamPCP and BreachForums for distribution, the technical implementation demonstrates amateur execution behind a professional facade. The nonce-handling flaw exists across all platform variants since initial deployment, effectively transforming this ransomware into a wiper for enterprise assets including VM disks, databases, and backups.

#TechIsShitDispatch
When #Microsoft365 sends me an email telling me I have messages in quarantine, and I click on the button in the email to block the sender of one of the messages, it takes _22 seconds_ for the web page with the block button to load.
The first 8 seconds is #Checkpoint deciding it's safe to redirect through to #Microsoft.
Then #M365 takes 14 seconds to load the page.
This is what Checkpoint and Microsoft consider acceptable performance. 🤦 -

#CheckPoint Research has profiled #SilverDragon, a Chinese-aligned group linked to #APT41 that targeted government and enterprise networks across Southeast Asia and Europe. Recent operations used the #GearDoor #backdoor with SSHcmd and SilverScreen, enabling remote access, covert screen capture, and stealthy control after #phishing and server exploitation.

#CheckPoint Research revealed that, amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, IP cameras in Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, and Cyprus have been intensively targeted. Notably, these countries have also experienced significant missile activity from Iran. The findings align with the assessment that Iran incorporates compromised cameras into its operational doctrine, using them both to support missile operations and to conduct ongoing battle damage assessment (BDA).

Full disclosure: This email had to pass through #Microsoft365 and #Checkpoint to get to #Jira Service Desk, so I can't entirely rule out that it was one of them, rather than Jira, that corrupted the email text. But my guess would be Jira. 🤷

#CheckPoint Research has discovered critical #vulnerabilities in #Anthropic’s #Claude Code that allow attackers to achieve remote code execution and steal API credentials through malicious project configurations. Stolen keys can provide access to shared Workspaces for file access and tampering. Anthropic patched the issues, including CVE-2025-59536.

#CheckPoint Research revealed that #VoidLink, a recently exposed cloud-native #Linux #malware framework, is authored almost entirely by AI, likely under the direction of a single individual. The malware was produced predominantly through AI-driven development, reaching the first functional implant in under a week. From a methodology perspective, the actor used the model beyond coding, adopting an approach called Spec Driven Development (SDD).
