Researchers detect new malware targeting Kubernetes clusters to mine Monero By Cointelegraph

Cybersecurity researchers at Unit 42, the intelligence team at Paolo Alto Networks, have published a profile of a new malware campaign that targets Kubernetes clusters and can be used for the purposes of cryptojacking.

“Cryptojacking” is an industry term for stealth crypto-mining attacks that work by installing malware that uses a computer’s processing power to mine cryptocurrencies — frequently Monero (XMR) — without the user’s consent or knowledge.
