Introduction: Publicly Exposed Software Becomes an Entry Point for Cryptomining Operations A new investigation by cybersecurity firm Huntress has uncovered an attack campaign targeting 13 organizations through publicly exposed GeoVision software. The attackers reportedly exploited internet-accessible systems to establish access, execute malicious PowerShell commands, abuse a vulnerable Windows driver, and interfere with legitimate Windows security processes. The ultimate objective was to deploy a custom malware loader and install XMRig, a widely used cryptocurrency mining application associated with Monero mining.

Cybersecurity Threat Alert Active Attack Campaign November 13, 2026 Introduction: Cybercriminals Turn Exposed SQL Servers into Malware Distribution Platforms FortiGuard Labs has uncovered a malicious campaign targeting internet-exposed Microsoft SQL Server instances, exploiting weak database credentials to gain unauthorized access and deploy cryptocurrency-mining malware alongside a remote access trojan (RAT). The campaign combines automated scanning, brute-force authentication attempts, malicious Transact-SQL (T-SQL) commands, and scheduled-task persistence.

I thought I was making the sensible choice. A few years later, one ordinary day at work made me question everything. Oh, dear younger me.

HIVE Digital reported $84.9 million in fiscal second-quarter revenue and roughly 71% growth in its AI-focused BUZZ GPU business. The company also…

Introduction: A New Threat to AI and GPU Infrastructure Cybercriminals have compromised three Linux GPU servers in a sophisticated cryptomining campaign that combines kernel-level rootkit technology, deceptive NVIDIA monitoring data, and multiple remote-access mechanisms. Tracked as REF3364, the campaign demonstrates how attackers can secretly hijack valuable computing resources while making legitimate system monitoring tools report misleading information. The operation relies on a Rust-based malware called SANSAR, which manages CPU and GPU cryptocurrency miners through the Tor network.
