Ransomware Evolves With Post-Quantum Encryption, New Extortion Tactics

Ransomware attacks may be on the decline, but don't let your guard down - attackers are getting smarter, ditching encryption, and selling stolen data, with the manufacturing sector alone losing a whopping $18 billion in just three quarters. The threat may have evolved, but the damage and risk remain very real.

Kyber Ransomware Targets Windows, VMware with Post-Quantum Encryption

Meet the Kyber Ransomware, a potent threat that targets both Windows and VMware environments with cutting-edge, post-quantum encryption. This sophisticated malware has been found to strike multiple systems at once, as seen in a March 2026 incident where two variants were deployed on the same network.

Any personal recommendations for a #ChatMail server? I'm excited to try @delta as they prepare to compliment #PostQuantumEncryption and #PerfectForwardSecrecy. Yes, I'm familiar with the list on their site, but I'd like to hear recommendations from users.

I'd prefer a server in #Germany that is geared towards English speakers and run by a nonprofit or collective but would love to hear all experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Cloudflare becomes first SASE platform with post quantum encryption across entire stack

Cloudflare reveals how bots and governments reshaped the internet in 2025

Increasingly, @signalapp is being criticized by governments and users alike though the only successful compromises have been through bad actors being added to group chats accidentally.

Do NOT follow the narrative that you should move to another chat app if having life-or-death chats. Signal is the ONLY chat app with proper #security for those conversations: #PostQuantumEncryption, #PerfectForwardSecrecy, and a proven track record of privacy in court.

@delta : With #ChatControl as a very possible future here in the #EU, do you have any updates on implementation of:

- on-device #encryption against #ClientSideScanning
- #PerfectForwardSecrecy
- #PostQuantumEncryption

If not, what can the community do to help you with these three points?

Each of these are so critically important for secure messaging apps.

Thank you for all your work!

days since #PerfectForwardSecrecy and #PostquantumEncryption were but marketing buzzwords and didn't save anyone: ZERO

Looking at encrypted messengers and the recent failure of the AWS, using @delta is better than nothing. Remember, though, that they support neither #PerfectForwardSecrecy nor quantum-safe or even -resistant #Encryption. High-risk targets should still use only @signalapp, because #DeltaChat and even @threemaapp, @matrix, and #XMPP do not have #PostQuantumEncryption (or proper implementations of it).
