Wiper Malware

Wiper malware is a type of malicious software designed to erase data from a computer or network, rendering it inaccessible and often irretrievable. Unlike traditional malware that aims to steal information or disrupt operations, wiper malware focuses solely on destruction, targeting files, systems, or entire drives to cause maximum damage to the victim's data integrity. This form of malware poses significant risks to organizations by undermining data recovery efforts and disrupting business continuity.
