The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has linked a destructive malware attack targeting the countrys national news agency (Ukrinform) to Sandworm Russian military hackers.

The first attack took place no later than February 2022, while the final destructive stages were set for April 8, 2022

The Russian state-sponsored hacking group known as Sandworm tried on Friday to take down a large Ukrainian energy provider by disconnecting its electrical substations with a new variant of the Industroyer malware for industrial control systems (ICS) and a new version of the CaddyWiper data destruction malware.

Newly discovered data-destroying malware was observed earlier today in attacks targeting Ukrainian organizations and deleting data across systems on compromised networks.

ESET researchers discovered that a new form of wiper malware had attacked some Ukrainian organizations.
