Lotus Wiper Targets Venezuelan Energy Infrastructure in ICS-Aware Sabotage Campaign

A destructive wiper malware tracked as Lotus Wiper has been deployed against Venezuelan state energy company PDVSA and associated electricity generation infrastructure. Unlike generic wipers, Lotus Wiper includes ICS-aware modules that identify and corrupt engineering workstation configurations, HMI databases, and OT historian data before wiping. The campaign represents the most targeted wiper deployment against Latin American energy infrastructure on record.
