"BiBi-Linux Wiper Targets Israeli Companies"

Attackers are using new wiper malware called BiBi-Linux in attacks against Israeli companies to destroy their data. During a forensics investigation of a breach at an Israeli company, the Security Joes Incident Response team discovered the malware. According to Security Joes researchers, the malware is an x64 ELF executable without obfuscation or protection measures. It enables attackers to specify target folders and, if executed with root permissions, could destroy an entire operating system. Generally, attackers launching wipers are not motivated by monetary gain, but rather seek to wipe as much data as possible and ruin operating systems. This article continues to discuss the new BiBi-Linux wiper malware.
