ESET partner breached to send data wipers to Israeli orgs

Posted on October 19, 2024 by Dissent

Lawrence Abrams reports:

Hackers breached ESET’s exclusive partner in Israel to send phishing emails to Israeli businesses that pushed data wipers disguised as antivirus software for destructive attacks.

A data wiper is malware that intentionally deletes all of the files on a computer and commonly removes or corrupts the partition table to make it harder to recover the data.

In a phishing campaign that started on October 8th, emails branded with ESET’s logo were sent from the legitimate eset.co.il domain, indicating that the Israel division’s email server was breached as part of the attack.

While the eset.co.il domain is branded with ESET’s content and logos, ESET told BleepingComputer it is operated by Comsecure, their Israel distributor.
