Gizmodo: Bitcoin Mining Is No Longer Worth it. “After a dip that coincided with when the stock market crashed (remember when Bitcoin was supposed to be a hedge against market volatility?), the cryptocurrency is pushing back up toward its all-time high. Despite that, it seems that mining for the cryptocurrency is no longer worth it, even for some larger mining operations.”

'After a dip that coincided with when the stock market crashed...the cryptocurrency is pushing back up toward its all-time high. Despite that, it seems that mining for the cryptocurrency is no longer worth it, even for some larger mining operations. According to data recently published by CoinShares, the cost of electricity and computational power needed to mine for Bitcoin now often exceeds the actual value of the coin.'

Outlaw cybergang attacking targets worldwide
A recent incident response case in Brazil revealed a Perl-based crypto mining botnet called Outlaw, also known as Dota, targeting Linux environments. The threat actor exploits weak SSH credentials, downloads malicious scripts, and deploys an XMRig miner for Monero cryptocurrency. The botnet includes an IRC-based client that acts as a backdoor, allowing for various malicious activities. Victims have been identified mainly in the United States, with additional targets in Germany, Italy, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Canada, and Brazil. The article provides detailed analysis of the malware's components, persistence mechanisms, and evasion techniques. Recommendations for system administrators include hardening SSH configurations and implementing additional security measures to mitigate the risk of compromise.

Fake VSCode extensions secretly mined crypto on infected Windows machines. #VSCodeSecurity #malware #cryptomining

Mining in Plain Sight: The VS Code Extension Cryptojacking Campaign
A sophisticated cryptomining campaign has been discovered targeting developers through seemingly legitimate VS Code extensions. The campaign, potentially reaching over one million installations, involves fake extensions published by three different authors. These extensions secretly download a PowerShell script that disables Windows security, establishes persistence, and installs an XMRig cryptominer. The most successful fake extension gained 189K installs. The attackers created a multi-stage attack, even installing legitimate extensions they impersonated to avoid suspicion. The campaign published ten different malicious extensions, with the top three showing unusually high install counts, suggesting artificial inflation. The extensions share identical code and communicate with the same C2 server. The PowerShell script sets up persistence mechanisms, disables Windows security services, and attempts privilege escalation.

BBC: Bitcoin in the bush – the crypto mine in remote Zambia. “Water and electronic equipment don’t usually mix well but it’s precisely the proximity to the river that’s drawn bitcoiners here. Philip [Walton]’s mine is plugged directly into a hydro-electric power plant that channels some of the Zambezi’s torrent through enormous turbines to generate continuous, clean electricity. More […]
