Mal/Miner-C mining malware leverages NAS devices to spread itself

Mal/Miner-C is designed to abuse resources of the infected machine to mine Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency. Malware leverages network-attached storage (NAS) devices as attack vector. The malware targeted various types of FTP servers, but Sophos experts noticed it mostly targeted Seagates Central NAS product.
