Understanding and Combatting Wiper Malware: A Deep Dive into the Ukraine Conflict's Cyber Aspect

The ongoing Ukraine War has involved components across all threat dimensions including physical conflict, disinformation, supply chain disruptions, and of course, cyber. Leading up to and throughout the war, several destructive cyber attacks launched against various entities, bringing the conflict to cyberspace and increasing the uncertainty of whether the wiper malware variants could affect networks and companies outside of Ukraine by way of spillover.

To understand the malware variants used for these attacks, their effects, and mitigation strategies, threat intelligence analysts from Recorded Future's research arm, Insikt Group hosted a discussion providing a high-level comparative overview of the 9 known wiper variants associated with the ongoing Ukraine War.

This webinar provided insight into the similarities and differences between the tools, the implications at a geopolitical level, and mitigation considerations in the event of spillover.
