Israeli cybersecurity firm, Check Point Software Technologies, has warned companies of an increase in wiper-ware attacks, which aim to annihilate data and digital systems during geopolitical conflicts. These attacks, unlike ransomware attacks, are not motivated by financial gain but rather by the desire to cripple military and civilian infrastructure. The use of wiper-ware has increased in recent years due to major conflicts, such as the Israeli-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
