Warning! Monero mining malware!

Since May 2017 malicious attackers have been targeting unpatched Windows servers to install mining software.
Their software is used to mine Monero using the servers resources.
The attackers modify legitimate open source Monero mining software and exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft IIS 6.0 to install the miner on these servers.
The attack yielded the hackers over $ 65 000 worth of Monero already.
ESET is able to detect the malicious binaries of the miner and labels them as Win32/CoinMiner.AMW trojan.
Another reminder to all of us - if there is a security patch out there, install it as soon as possible!
