A newly discovered data wiper malware that wipes routers and modems has been loosely linked to the cyberattack that targeted the KA-SAT satellite broadband service on February 24, affecting thousands in Ukraine and tens of thousands across Europe.
The malware, dubbed AcidRain by researchers at SentinelOne, is designed to brute-force device file names and wipe every file it can find, making it easy to redeploy in future attacks.
