Has anyone come across a disk that looked this before?

https://imgur.com/PcqQKW2

It's from a 2 month old install of Win10, running Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.
I have never come across a disk that has a repeating 8 bit pattern of 7 zeros and a single 1.

At seemingly random occasions throughout the disk , Game Over!!! is written in the hex.

The entire SSD is like this, all of it has been overwritten….

I'm thinking malicious, obviously, but to be honest I am rather baffled

Any thoughts?
