Wipers R Us
Poland’s electric grid was targeted by wiper malware, likely from Russian state hackers, in an attack aimed at disrupting electricity delivery operations during the last week of December. The cyberattack focused on disrupting communications between renewable energy installations and power distribution operators but ultimately failed for unknown reasons. Security firm ESET identified the malware as a wiper, which erases data to cripple operations, and linked it to the Russian hacker group Sandworm. This incident highlights ongoing threats to critical infrastructure from state-sponsored cyberattacks.
