Sample code shared on Twitter suggests the malware corrupts files on the machine by overwriting them with null byte characters, making them unrecoverable.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that if the wiper works, it will effectively render the system useless,\u201d Jean-Ian Boutin, head of threat research at ESET, told The Verge<\/em>. \u201cHowever, it is unclear at this point what is the overall impact of this attack.\u201d<\/p>\n So far, the number of cases in the wild appears to be small, and ESET\u2019s research had observed one organization being targeted with CaddyWiper, Boutin said.<\/p>\n ESET research has previously uncovered two other strains of wiper malware targeting computers in Ukraine. The first strain, labeled HermeticWiper by researchers, was discovered on February 23rd<\/a>, one day before Russia began the military invasion of Ukraine. Another wiper known as IsaacWiper was deployed in Ukraine on February 24th<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, a timeline shared by ESET suggests that both IsaacWiper and HermeticWiper were in development for months before their release.<\/p>\n
