Fileless Crypto-Mining Malware Discovered |
Texte |
Malicious crypto-miners have invaded the threat landscape over the past year, fueled by a massive increase in the value of crypto-currency.
A recent attack discovered by security researchers from Minerva Lab used malware dubbed GhostMiner, which has adopted the most effective techniques used by other malware families, including fileless infection attacks.
Focused on mining Monero crypto-currency, the new threat used PowerShell evasion frameworks – Out-CompressedDll and Invoke-ReflectivePEInjection – that employed fileless techniques to hide the malicious code.
