VECT 2.0 is a new cross-platform ransomware variant that partially corrupts files larger than 131KB rather than encrypting them — rendering files permanently unrecoverable even after ransom payment, as the overwritten data cannot be reconstructed. Active campaigns have targeted manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Standard backup-based recovery strategies may fail against VECT 2.0 if backups were mounted or reachable at the time of attack.
