ESET-Branded Wiper Attack Targets Israel; Firm Denies Compromise

ESET refuted claims its platforms were compromised after a malicious email campaign targeting Israeli organizations delivered a ZIP that unpacked destructive wiper malware resembling Handala's tooling; ESET says the campaign was detected and blocked within ten minutes, customers remain secure, and a partner (Comsecure) in Israel was affected. The phished messages reportedly passed DKIM/SPF and used an ESET Israel backend URL, suggesting methods to circumvent email anti-spoofing.
