AcidPour Malware Threatens Linux x86

March 19, 2024
Reading Time: 3 mins read

A novel variant of the notorious data-wiping malware, AcidRain, has surfaced, tailored explicitly for Linux x86 systems. Dubbed AcidPour, this malicious software represents a significant evolution, compiled specifically for Linux x86 architecture. SentinelOne’s Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade highlighted the distinction, noting a departure in codebase compared to its predecessor, AcidRain, which initially emerged during the Russo-Ukrainian war. AcidRain’s initial deployment targeted KA-SAT modems from U.S. satellite company Viasat, a cyber attack attributed to Russia by the Five Eyes nations, Ukraine, and the European Union.

This latest iteration of the malware, AcidPour, poses a renewed threat, with capabilities tailored to erase content from RAID arrays and Unsorted Block Image (UBI) file systems. By incorporating file paths such as “/dev/dm-XX” and “/dev/ubiXX,” AcidPour targets critical components of Linux systems, raising concerns about its potential impact and intended victims. Although the exact scope of the attacks remains unknown, SentinelOne has alerted Ukrainian agencies to the threat, underscoring the importance of proactive measures against evolving cyber threats.

The emergence of AcidPour underscores a persistent trend in cyber warfare, wherein threat actors continually refine and diversify their arsenal to maximize impact. Despite ongoing efforts to combat such threats, the development of sophisticated malware variants like AcidPour underscores the need for heightened vigilance and robust cybersecurity protocols. As cyber adversaries adapt their tactics to exploit vulnerabilities, the cybersecurity community must remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and mitigating emerging threats to safeguard critical infrastructure and sensitive data from malicious actors.
