LoudMiner Cryptominer Uses Linux Image and Virtual Machines

An unusual cryptocurrency miner, dubbed LoudMiner, is spreading via pirated copies of Virtual Studio Technology. It uses virtualization software to mine Monero on a Tiny Core Linux virtual machine. ESET analysts recently uncovered a WordPress-based website hawking trojanized packages that incorporate the popular software, including Propellerhead Reason, Ableton Live, Reaktor 6, AutoTune and others. So far, three Mac versions and one Windows variant of the malware have been uncovered.
