At Infosecurity Europe in London, Guardicore Labs’ Dave Klein gives Threatpost a behind-the-scenes look at a cryptojacking campaign. The Nansh0u campaign mines an open-source cryptocurrency called TurtleCoin. At first, it looked like a standard technique of going after low-hanging fruits, basically, weak passwords, lack of two factor authentication, account control.
