VECT Ransomware is a Wiper, Not Ransomware — Don’t Bother Paying, Says Check Point Research

You can read their blog post at https://blog.checkpoint.com/security/vect-ransomware-why-paying-wont-get-your-files-back/ or their full report at https://research.checkpoint.com/2026/vect-ransomware-by-design-wiper-by-accident/

(h/t, @cybernews)

I contacted VECT and asked them for their response to #CheckPoint's report. Their response was, um... short? :)

‘CanisterWorm’ Springs #Wiper Attack #Targeting #Iran

A financially motivated data theft and #extortion group is attempting to inject itself into the #Iranwar , unleashing a #worm that spreads through poorly secured cloud services and wipes data on infected systems that use Iran’s time zone or have #Farsi set as the default language.

Parliamo del fonte cyber Iran-USA: Handala contro Stryker

Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker

A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.

From the story:

"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."

"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."

Updated my post on the Anubis attack on Mid South Pulmonary Specialists after getting additional info from Anubis.

It seems they used their wiper to delete all of MSPS's backups, and then encrypted all of their systems.

That sounds pretty grim. MSPS has not posted anything (perhaps they can't) or issued any notice anywhere about whether patient care has been affected at all by any breach.

Anubis hasn't really had a lot of media coverage, but @amvinfe's post about the attack on Mid South Pulmonary & Sleep Specialists was a wake-up call for me. So I took a look at Anubis's dark web leak site and saw they added -- and leaked -- five U.S. healthcare entities in November.

Given that they are not loath to encrypt and wipe victims' data... well... yikes.

SentinelLabs discovered a new variant of AcidRain wiper targeting Ukraine, which they call AcidPour. Their analysis confirms the connection between AcidRain and AcidPour, connecting it to clusters previously publicly attributed to Russian military intelligence. The discovery coincides with the enduring disruption of multiple Ukrainian telecommunication networks since 13 March 2024. SentinelLabs provides a technical analysis, describes AcidPour features and lists IOC. 🔗 https://www.sentinelone.com/labs/acidpour-new-embedded-wiper-variant-of-acidrain-appears-in-ukraine/
