IsaacWiper is a malicious software (malware) that has been identified as part of a series of cyberattacks against Ukraine in 2022. The malware is known to exploit and damage computer systems, often infiltrating them through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites. Once inside, IsaacWiper can disrupt operations, steal personal information, or even hold data hostage for ransom. Its exact origin remains unattributed, but it's currently being assessed for potential links with another malware, HermeticWiper. The malware was used by Russian Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups as part of a broader campaign of cyber warfare against Ukraine. Throughout 2022, multiple wipers, including IsaacWiper, were deployed in attacks aimed at Ukraine, alongside other notable malware such as AwfulShred, CaddyWiper, HermeticWiper, Industroyer2, WhisperGate, Prestige, RansomBoggs, and ZeroWipe. Interestingly, some of these malwares, especially WhisperGate, impersonated ransomware attacks: victims received ransom notes, but no decryption keys were provided, and the data was irrecoverably corrupted. IsaacWiper was one of the destructive tools deployed against Ukrainian governmental networks during this period. Despite similarities in their objectives and targets, there are no major code similarities between IsaacWiper and other prevalent data wipers such as HermeticWiper or CaddyWiper that were also used in attacks on Ukrainian organizations since February 23rd. This indicates a diverse range of cyber threats faced by Ukraine in the ongoing cyber warfare.
