DUSTMANDustman

At the heart of the recent Bapco attack is a new strain of malware named Dustman. According to an analysis by Saudi Arabia's cyber-security agency, Dustman is a so-called data wiper -- malware designed to delete data on infected computers, once launched into execution. Dustman represents the third different data-wiping malware linked to the Tehran regime. Iranian state-backed hackers have a long history of developing data-wiping malware.
