We've had 6 wipers in the wake of the Ukraine invasion but the biggest elephant in the room has been the infamous 'satellite modem hack'. Despite statements saying there was no malware involved, we believe it was the work of a 7th wiper– AcidRain
AcidRain is a 32-bit MIPS ELF wiper uploaded to VT from Italy on March 15th with the name 'ukrop'. It's a more generic wiper in that it attempts to bruteforce device file names and wipe any and all, and can be reused for a future op.
Interestingly, there are two wiping mechanisms. The first copies from an array of 4-byte integers starting at 0xffffffff, decrementing at each index.

Ok friends, you know it's a wonderful day when you get woken up by @Bing_Chris on madness in Iran. If you haven't seen what's going on, another trollish attack played out today with gas stations in Iran not being able to dispense gas #64411
Screens on the gas pump PoS systems say 'cyberattack, 64411' in Farsi. For avid readers, this should be a throwback to the Iranian railway systems attack in July where the attackers also directed calls to 64411, the Office of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei' #MeteorExpress
We were able to reconstruct the attack chain used in the Iranian railway system, a combination of well-written crafty batch scripts + an externally configurable wiper called 'Meteor'. That led us to calling this group MeteorExpress.

Been watching the Reddit market uprising and had a few thoughts I thought might be helpful:
Hunting for shorts is nothing new. HF’s do it, algo shops do it, bank trading desks do it, and now retail investors do it. Fair enough.
We are watching bubbles inflate, the same way they do when the Fed floods markets with money. The only difference is the money is coming from retail traders and the bubbles are inflating more rapidly.
