Findings from Avast - "CoViper is a new wiper malware family taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis. Based on what we discovered during our analysis, we have reason to believe that it is attracting victims by masquerading as a file related to the coronavirus. The wiper breaks an infected computer’s boot operation, by rewriting the Master Boot Record (MBR) located on the computer’s disk."
