A year later when Saudi Aramco had the drives of tens of thousands of machines wiped (likely by Iran), the press assumed it was related or the work of the same group and also called it "Wiper."
Now it is a generic term for any malware that erases drives, often in a coordinated attack.
Viper/Wiper was the punchline for an animated TV miniseries/sequence of GI Joe.
(For non-USians: GI Joe was a US weekday after-school TV militainment and merchandizing franchise targeted at children. Which, from the perspective of an adult who grew up watching that as a kid, feels fascinating.)
