The CYFIRMA research team has uncovered a new and highly destructive malware, WinDestroyer. It lacks ransom demands, is geopolitically motivated, and is developed for hacktivism against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The malware employs DLL reload attacks, API hammering, and lateral movement capabilities, rendering systems unusable. During our investigation, we have been able to attribute WinDestroyer to a threat actor residing in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
