Wiper Malware hits Ukrainian Organizations

Post by MikePeller »

Wiper Malware hits Ukrainian Organizations – FortiGuard Labs is aware of a report that multiple organizations in Ukraine were impacted by destructive malware. The malware looks to be some kind of ransomware at first glance; however, it does not have the telltale signs of ransomware. It overwrites the victim's Master Boot Record (MBR) and files with specific file extensions with-out any recovery mechanism, which are enough to classify the malware as a destructive wiper malware. You can read the details in this Threat Signal from FortiGuard Labs.
