This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 73%. (I'm a bot)


> Ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion, cybersecurity researchers at Slovakian cybersecurity firm ESET, network security firm Fortinet, and Google-owned incident-response firm Mandiant have all independently found that in 2022, Ukraine saw far more specimens of "Wiper" malware than in any previous year of Russia's long-running cyberwar targeting Ukraine-or, for that matter, any other year, anywhere.

> "It's an explosion, another order of magnitude." That variety, researchers say, may be a sign of the sheer number of malware developers whom Russia has assigned to target Ukraine, or of Russia's efforts to build new variants that can stay ahead of Ukraine's detection tools, particularly as Ukraine has hardened its cybersecurity defenses.

> Fortinet has also found that the growing volume of wiper malware specimens hitting Ukraine may in fact be creating a more global proliferation problem.
