Check Point research team has discovered what could potentially become one of the biggest malicious mining operations ever seen. The operation uses a hybridization of a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and XMRig miner over the past months to target victims around the globe. The miner is capable of running on many platforms and Windows versions, and it seems like most of the victims so far are personal computers. With every campaign, the malware has gone through several updates and the mining pool used to transfer the profits is also changed. So far, $3 million has been mined.”]
