Ukraine #HermeticWiper malware is "incredibly thorough," @juanandres_gs told me tonight. "It's got at least five or six different ways that it's trashing different aspects of the operating system." "It makes WhisperGate look like it was written by script kiddies," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

The wiper exploits a Microsoft feature that configures settings across multiple computers on a network, so it's designed for networks where the attacker has that kind of broad access. It's "fire-and-forget," Guerrero-Saade said, compared to WhisperGate, which needed more input. — PolitiTweet.org
