BlackCat targeting corporate world with new malware.

A pair of new incidents from ransomware group BlackCat have come to light, via use of customized malware and attacks on shared cloud hosting services.

New findings from Kaspersky detailing the group's activities shows that BlackCat is now writing malware in Rust, a coding language not typically used by ransomware groups.

"Knowledge of malware development, a new written-from-scratch sample in an unusual programming language and experience in maintaining infrastructure are turning the BlackCat group into a major player in the ransomware market."

Per Kaspersky's findings, the RaaS group has targeted companies in different industries and different areas of the world.
