Ordinypt is a wiper disguised as ransomware that targets German users

Security experts spotted a new malware dubbed Ordinypt, it is a wiper disguised as ransomware that currently only targets German users. Instead of encrypting files, the malware intentionally destroys them. The malware was spread via emails written in German, and delivering notes in an error-free language, it pretends to be a resume being sent in reply to job adverts. The ransom note uses a bitcoin address from a hardcoded wallet address. It is also confirmed by its strange ransom note that doesnt list an infection ID nor does it ask for a file from where the ransomwares authors can extract an ID.”]
