Data Destruction and Disk Wiping Techniques Targeting Organizations

Adversaries are deploying destructive wiper malware (e.g., CaddyWiper, AcidPour) that overwrites files and disks and can propagate in a worm-like fashion, affecting both on-premises and cloud environments; notable incidents include the 2022 Ukraine power infrastructure attack and the 2025 Poland wiper attacks. Organizations are advised to maintain disaster recovery plans and off-system backups to mitigate significant operational disruption.
