A recently uncovered cryptomining scheme used malicious Docker images to mine cryptocurrency. Researchers identified five container images on Docker Hub that could be used as part of a supply chain attack targeting cloud-native environments. These images were uploaded to the legitimate Docker Hub repository. Attackers are getting better at hiding their attacks, Aqua Security researchers say. The malicious containers are designed to easily be misidentified as official container images, even though the Docker Hub accounts responsible for them are not official accounts. The attacks were limited to hijacking computing resources to mine Monero.”]
