A threat actor been spotted on a number of honeypots looking to download and execute malicious cryptomining malware.

Cryptojacking attacks are on the rise. We talk to security researcher Troy Mursch about why bad actors are drawn to this attack technique.

Researchers said over a dozen malicious docker images available on Docker Hub allowed hackers to earn $90,000 in cryptojacking profits.

Cryptominer WinstarNssmMiner is an aggressive malware strain that has launched 500,000 attacks in the past three days earning criminals $28,000.

The malware targets Windows servers with a cornucopia of well-known exploits, all within a single executable — including the EternalBlue NSA hacking tool.

Not just a miner, the malware also sets up a hidden default account with system administrator privileges, to be used for re-infection and further attacks.

The attack could have been averted through a technique called subresource integrity, according to researcher Scott Helme.

The botnet uses port scanning code from Mirai, a first for Android-related attacks, according to researchers.

Crypto mining botnets provide a stealthy way to generate big bucks, without the downsides of ransomware.

The group behind the VenusLocker ransomware have switched to cryptocurrency mining Monero.
