Agenda Ransomware Uses Rust to Target More Vital Industries
released on 2022-12-16 @ 12:25:08 PM
An emerging ransomware family, Agenda has recently been targeting critical sectors such as the healthcare and education industries. The threat actors behind this ransomware appear to be migrating their ransomware code to Rust as recent samples still lack some features seen in the original binaries written in the Golang variant of the ransomware. Rust language is becoming more popular among threat actors as it is more difficult to analyze and has a lower detection rate by antivirus engines.
