New Golang-based worm targets Windows and Linux servers with monero cryptomining malware. The worm typically attempts to inject XMRig malware – increasingly used to mine for cryptocurrency such as monero – within vulnerable servers. It targets vulnerable, public-facing services such as MySQL, the Tomcat administration panel and the open-source automation Jenkins server.
