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? :)

From July of last year, the blog called decryption posted a bunch of wondrous examples of 1-bit MacPaint art from the early days of the platform. MacPaint had a distinctive aesthetic: tiny dots, each either white or black, favored the use of dithering to create makeshift grayscale. (Note: one image is NSFW.)

I listened to the latest pod episode of Random but memorable by 1Password. In the interview with Hayley Benedict, she highlighted the threat that eg state actors harvest encrypted data from internet. The data is safely encrypted for now. But when quantum computing comes, older and much current encryption can be deccrypted. It is debated when quantum computing becomes real. She is a cyber intelligence analyst at RANE.

My bad- I haven't had my coffee yet and misunderstood.

As I still wake up, speaking from a pinephone user perspective:::
- A fully #encrypted #filesystem, with optional support for hardware key (like #solokey, or #nitrokey) #decryption
++Not sure about hw key, but encrypted fs is relatively easy on most Linux distros
- NO #Fingerprint Scanner or #Biometrics at all
++#pinephone doesn't have that at all
- #NFC that can only be toggled on temporarily, and automatically shuts off after X amount of time
++Probably a feature to be released in the near future
- #Bluetooth 5+ with #A2DP; #AptX and #BLE with a more security focused method of #authentication
++From the wiki "Bluetooth: 4.0, A2DP"; could probably swap it out though.
- All internet connections routed through @torproject (or something similar), with a #killswitch if the connection is dropped
++Maybe configure a distro to do so? I know there's various killswitches on the back.
- Privacy focused #browser with something like #SSL Everywhere; #WebRTC and JS disabled by default, with easy toggle for "trusted" websites, which would allow JS and Video etc
++Never tried this specific setup myself-ill have to give it a go.
- #Decentralized messaging; voice chat; video conferencing; forums and blogs, like where #Briar is being taken by @briar (though the voice; video and other creature comforts are as yet unavailable)
++I used #fractal as well as ssh into my personal communication server
- No closed source Modem/Wifi/Bluetooth binary blobs
++Iirc, pinephones modem is open.
- Securely Containerized SMS/MMS
++Sms/mms is still unstable but working
- Password Manager with support for #OTP; #TOTP and #Fido2
++I keep being referred to bitwarden. Not sure if this applies.
- #GPS #Spoofing by default
++Not aware of any mobile distro doing this be default
=======≠===≠=≠================≠===≠===≠==
I would like to see more Linux phone options/development out there in the wild...
