Domino is a malicious software that infiltrated various systems, most notably IBM Domino Server and ESET Mail Security for IBM Domino, causing significant disruptions and data breaches. The malware was particularly potent due to its ability to exploit vulnerabilities in one system and trigger a domino effect, compromising other systems and services. This resulted in massive data leaks, with the most notable incident involving Domino’s India, where a hacker claimed to have accessed a 13 TB database, creating a nightmare scenario for the company. The first indication of the domino malware's impact emerged when major corporations such as Northern Star, Seek, and Domino’s Pizza experienced considerable declines in their market performance. Domino's Pizza was particularly affected, with its share price dropping by 4.1%. Further highlighting the severity of the situation, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike reported enhanced detection fidelity among its customers, including Greenhill and Domino’s Pizza Eurasia, suggesting a broad-based attack on multiple fronts. The domino malware saga took a legal turn in August 2023 when the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed Tornado Cash on the “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDN) list, following a federal judge's ruling in Texas. This decision effectively prohibited anyone in the United States from interacting or doing business with Tornado Cash. Despite efforts to mitigate the effects of the attack, the repercussions were widespread and palpable, underscoring the far-reaching implications of the domino malware.
