MultiLayer is a modular destructive wiper associated with Iranian state-aligned activity. It has been linked to deployments against Israeli educational and technology organizations and to operations involving Agonizing Serpens (Agrius) and Boggy Serpens (MuddyWater). Operators have used legitimate remote monitoring and management tools to distribute MultiLayer payloads at scale. Its documented role is data-destructive activity rather than ransomware or espionage.

The content contrasts Screening Serpens with Agonizing Serpens, stating that the latter used the wiper malware MultiLayer and PartialWasher against Israeli educational and technology organizations.
MultiLayer and BFG Agonizer: Concurrently, collaborative deployments between Agonizing Serpens and Boggy Serpens (aka MuddyWater) introduced highly modular wipers like MultiLayer and BFG Agonizer. These operations frequently abused legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools to distribute the payloads at scale.
