> Ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion, cybersecurity researchers at Slovakian cybersecurity firm ESET, network security firm Fortinet, and Google-owned incident-response firm Mandiant have all independently found that in 2022, Ukraine saw far more specimens of "Wiper" malware than in any previous year of Russia's long-running cyberwar targeting Ukraine-or, for that matter, any other year, anywhere.

> "It's an explosion, another order of magnitude."

> Fortinet has also found that the growing volume of wiper malware specimens hitting Ukraine may in fact be creating a more global proliferation problem.
