Explainer: Why cyberattackers are increasingly launching attacks in Rust programming language

Cyberattackers have a new exploitation tool Rust programming language. Popular ransomware and malware families on the dark web such as BlackCat (ALPHV), Hive, Luna, RansomExx and Agenda are increasingly launching attacks coded in Rust language which are evading traditional threat detection solutions and are difficult for cybersecurity professionals to reverse engineer. Nearly 10-15% of ransomware attacks today are estimated to be coded using Rust.
