In Ukraine, researchers discover a new damaging wiper malware

Thus far, the number of confirmed incidents in the wild appears to be modest, and ESET’s research has identified one organization that has been targeted by CaddyWiper, Boutin added.

Previously, ESET researchers discovered two additional variants of wiper malware targeting PCs in Ukraine. Researchers found the first strain, dubbed HermeticWiper, on February 23rd, only one day before Russia launched its armed invasion of Ukraine. On February 24th, another wiper known as IsaacWiper was deployed in Ukraine.
