An unknown group of hackers has started hijacking Linux PCs just a week after the Samba flaw was disclosed publicly. Attackers install an upgraded version of “CPUminer,” a cryptocurrency mining software that mines digital currency. After compromising the vulnerable machines using SambaCry vulnerability, attackers execute two payloads on the targeted systems. The attackers behind the attack have already earned 98 XMR, which is worth 5,380 today and this figure is continuously rising with the increase in the number of compromised Linux systems.
