'PATHWIPER' ATTACK HITS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN UKRAINE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Cisco Talos discovered "PathWiper," a new Russian wiper malware targeting Ukrainian critical infrastructure through legitimate endpoint administration frameworks. Unlike previous wipers, PathWiper programmatically identifies all connected drives and network paths via APIs before overwriting data with random bytes, potentially more destructive than tools like HermeticWiper used in earlier attacks.
