Researchers have discovered a new type of malware infecting computers in Ukraine. This new malware, which was discovered, deeply affects the systems of Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, and it is claimed that the name of this software is CaddyWiper.
Discovered by researchers at Slovakia-based cybersecurity firm ESET, the malware named CaddyWiper can delete user data and information from all drives connected to a compromised machine.
It is unclear how many machines CaddyWiper has infiltrated so far, which overwrites deleted data with null data to make it completely impossible to restore the information.
CaddyWiper is not the first malware ESET researchers have uncovered in Ukraine. The company found 2 different malware, also known as HermeticWiper and later named IsaacWiper, just before the Russia-Ukraine tension started.
