Another data wiper found in Ukrainian critical infrastructure (Daryna Antoniuk – The Record)

Newly identified wiper malware has been used to attack a critical infrastructure facility in Ukraine, researchers said, attributing the incident to a Russian state-linked hacking group. The malware, dubbed PathWiper, is designed to destroy data by overwriting files with random information, making recovery impossible. Cybersecurity firm Cisco Talos said the attackers had deep access to the victim’s internal systems and used administrative tools to mimic legitimate activity while deploying the malicious code.
