According to ESET, a new and malicious
program CaddyWiper has been discovered in Ukraine. It should be noted that this
is the third malware program recently detected in Ukraine.
The number of cyber attacks in Ukraine
is growing every day. ESET, a well-known security and antivirus company, said
on its Twitter account that a new and malicious software called CaddyWiper has
been discovered. This virus can delete all data from the internal memory of
vulnerable devices. This program has been discovered in some government
agencies and systems. On the other hand, he said that the virus is not
code-like with other dangerous viruses. That is, they are not as dangerous.
Jean-Ian Boutin, one of the leaders of ESET, said, “The new virus program is
dangerous and can erase all data when it infects systems. However, it is
unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post."
ESET had previously discovered a new
virus program called HermeticWiper on February 23 and IsaacWiper on February
24. As with CaddyWiper, these virus programs have been detected in Ukraine and
have different levels of risk.
