Splunk spots malware targeting Windows Server on AWS to mine Monero.
Data analysis firm Splunk says it’s found a resurgence of the Crypto botnet – malware that attacks virtual servers running Windows Server inside Amazon Web Services.
Splunk’s Threat Research Team (STRT) posted its analysis of the attack on Monday, suggesting it starts with a probe for Windows Server instances running on AWS, and seeks out those with remote desktop protocol (RDP) enabled.
Once target VMs are identified, the attackers wheel out an old favourite: brute forcing passwords.
If that tactic succeeds, the attackers get to work and install cryptomining tools that produce the Monero cryptocurrency.
Secure messaging app Telegram plays a role, too.
Attackers install it and use it to carry command and control messages.
Splunk’s security team noticed that one of the Monero wallets used in this campaign was also involved in a 2018 wave of attacks using the same Crypto botnet.
