Hello,
The "ScalpFox" entry in clusters/wiper.json (UUID 0bebd2c7-014f-4113-8119-f632122b4ef4)
was added in commit 1e77e57 ("Add missing Wikipedia-listed wipers with first-seen
metadata"). However, unlike other entries from that commit, this one has:
- no external references,
- no first-seen date,
- no mention on the Wikipedia wiper page the commit refers to.
I was unable to find any vendor report (Kaspersky, ESET, CrowdStrike, Microsoft,
Malpedia) describing a wiper named "ScalpFox". As far as I can tell, no such malware
family has ever been publicly documented.
Meanwhile, "ScalpFox" is the name of my legitimate business (scalpfox.com, a cryptocurrency scalping service).
Because misp-galaxy.org ranks highly, this entry now appears
in Google search results and in Google's AI Overview for my brand name, which tells
potential customers that "ScalpFox is a destructive wiper" — causing direct
reputational and financial harm to my business.
Could you please provide a verifiable source for this entry, or remove it if none
exists? Thank you.
