Zscaler’s ThreatLabz research team is tracking a new botnet dubbed DreamBus thats installing the XMRig cryptominer on powerful enterprise-class Linux and Unix systems with the goal of using their computing power to mine monero. The botnet uses a modular design, with developers rolling out new modules on a regular basis. The attackers are targeting Linux-based systems because they are softer targets than Windows-based malware, the researchers say. The researchers say most of its command-and-control components are hosted through the TOR browser or on an anonymous file-sharing service.”]
