Crypto-Mining Hacking Groups Wage War in the Cloud

Two hacking groups have been targeting each other’s cryptominers as part of an ongoing battle to get control of vulnerable cloud-based infrastructure. The first of the two crypto-mining (also known as cryptojacking) attackers is Pacha Group, a threat group of Chinese origins profiled by Intezer Labs. Both groups’ malware strains come with shared capabilities like the ability to search for and to disable cloud security products from vendors such as Tencent Cloud and Alibaba Cloud, as well as an exploit used to abuse an Atlassian vulnerability.
