Summary
Check Point Research published 'Bad Karma, No Justice,' attributing destructive wiper operations against Israeli organisations to Void Manticore — an Iranian MOIS-linked actor that Microsoft tracks as Storm-0842. The report catalogues custom wipers including BiBi (Windows and Linux variants), CIWiper, LowEraser/Pinky, and JustMBR, alongside manual destruction using Windows Format and SDelete. Void Manticore fronts the Karma and Homeland Justice leak-and-influence personas in Israel and Albania respectively.
