Researchers have confirmed that hackers are breaking into unpatched Windows computers using the BlueKeep vulnerability to install money-making cryptocurrency-mining code code. British researcher Kevin Beaumont raised the alarm this weekend, after discovering that BlueKeep honeypots he had set up (to act as an early alarm that the vulnerability was being exploited) began to crash and reboot themselves. So far the current attack is not being exploited a worm like WannaCry, which caused particular problems for the UKs National Health Service. The fact that many computers are likely to still be unprotected against the flaw is a real cause for concern.”]
