Cybersecurity researchers at Qualys examined the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) most used in ransomware attacks in recent years.

For example, Microsoft is using Rust to rewrite some Windows components that were written in C and C+, and some Linux drivers are now being written in Rust....
