Vect 2.0 Ransomware Acts as Wiper, Thanks to Design Error

Summary

Vect 2.0 ransomware, deployed against victims of the TeamPCP supply chain attacks, contains a critical design error that causes it to function as a data wiper rather than properly encrypting files for ransom recovery. Organizations hit by this variant should avoid paying ransoms, as decryptors cannot recover the wiped data. This highlights the intersection of supply chain compromise and ransomware tactics.
