"ESET Distributor's Systems Abused to Deliver Wiper Malware"

ESET is investigating the abuse of the systems of its official product distributor in Israel to send emails delivering wiper malware. ESET's Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) team notified targeted users of government-backed attackers trying to compromise their devices. The attack's email passed DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) checks, and linked to the ESET Israel store, according to researcher Kevin Beaumont. The link pointed to a ZIP file with ESET DLLs and an executable aimed at installing wiper malware on the victim's system. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the delivery of wiper malware through the abuse of ESET's official product distributor in Israel.
