Data-destroying malware has a new attack method.

According to TechRadar , BiBi Wiper, a notorious data-destroying malware, has been upgraded to include the ability to erase entire hard drive partition tables, making data recovery extremely difficult.

According to security researchers, the latest version of the BiBi Wiper malware operates on both Linux and Windows operating systems. It not only wipes all data on the hard drive but also destroys the partition table, which stores information about the drive's structure. This makes data recovery using traditional methods nearly impossible.

BiBi Wiper is believed to have been developed by the Void Manticore hacking group, which is funded by the Iranian government . Their targets are typically organizations in Israel and Albania. In addition to BiBi Wiper, Void Manticore also uses two other data destruction tools: Cl Wiper and Partition Wiper. This malware is believed to be linked to Scarred Manticore, another Iranian-backed hacking group.

Scarred Manticore specializes in carrying out initial intrusions into target networks, then handing over access to Void Manticore to execute subsequent actions, including stealing and destroying data.

To infiltrate target networks, Scarred Manticore typically exploits the CVE-2019-0604 vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint. This vulnerability allows them to move across the network and steal emails.

To protect themselves from BiBi Wiper, users need to update their software regularly, install reputable antivirus software, and back up their data frequently.
