Title: 400k Windows PCs Targeted to Install Crypto Mining Malware
Post by: Jeffery Musk on March 10, 2018, 06:24:15 AM
The malware tried to replace legitimate Windows platform processes on users’ machines by injecting or infecting them with illegal code. It could then return them to masquerade as legitimate processes while mining cryptocurrency. Microsoft says most of the attacks took place in Russia.

I think this was the first ever advise when the internet has started. Like Bob Kahn saying to Vint Cerf (spells 'surf'!) 'Be careful when clicking a link'

73 percent of the more than 400,000 instances recorded were in Russia while Turkey accounted for 18% and Ukraine 4%.

95% in 3 countries, this is interesting. Also I wonder what currencies are mined with this trojan, and at what hashrate.
