Attacks, Malware

According to researchers, ransom payment does not guarantee file recovery. CryWiper is the second retaliatory malware strain that targeted Russian companies after RURansom, a.NET-based wiper discovered in March. Numerous wipers have been launched in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including WhisperGate, AcidRain, HermeticWiper, IsaacWiper, DoubleZero, Industroyer2, and CaddyWiper. “Wipers can be effective regardless of the technical skills of the attacker, as even the simplest wiper can wreak havoc on affected systems,” stated Max Kersten, a Trellix researcher.
