Regarding Sicarii’s broken decryption process, researchers said that “during execution, the malware regenerates a new RSA key pair locally, uses the newly generated key material for encryption, and then discards the private key.”
Even if the malware author did correct the issue, it’s unknown whether those already compromised can benefit, or if they’re out of luck.
They literally said the private key was discarded. It’s absolutely known whether those already compromised can benefit. They can’t.
Well, unless they also made key generation shitty, because that’s equally plausible and would likely allow RSA keys to be broken (it’s surprisingly hard to generate RSA keys safely)
I know just enough to know that I absolutely shouldn’t try to roll my own encryption, and that’s enough knowledge for me
vibe coded and ranswomare in the same sentence was not on my 2026 bingo card
we need a way bigger bingo card
Like a virus that kills the host, it won’t spread as well and should die out faster than other types of maleware.

Did they vibe code their false identity as well?
So they basically created a hashing function?
A hash is at least consistent when given identical inputs. What they created is more like a digital incinerator.
Brilliant lol.
