ALPHV (BlackCat) is the first professional ransomware gang to use Rust

Security researchers have discovered this week the first professional ransomware strain that was coded in the Rust programming language and was deployed against companies in real-world attacks.

It's a first of some sort at least.

I'm not sure it matters too much neither for the victims nor the analysts what programming language the malware authors used though.
