TeamTNT is conducting a crypto mining campaign called Spinning YARN, targeting Docker, Redis, YARN, and Confluence. The attack involves server-side scripting vulnerabilities, obfuscated code, and malware deployment. The malware assesses the environment, disables cloud security, establishes persiste…

Trend Micro researchers have identified threat actors exploiting misconfigured Docker servers to spread Gafgyt malware, traditionally known for targeting IoT devices. This shift in behavior involves attackers creating Docker containers based on legitimate 'alpine' images to deploy the malware. The …

Recent research has uncovered a new malicious campaign orchestrated by the notorious hacking group TeamTNT. This campaign exploits exposed Docker daemons to deploy Sliver malware, a cyber worm, and cryptominers, utilizing compromised servers and Docker Hub as infrastructure for spreading their mali…

A malicious actor has been observed targeting Docker remote API servers to deploy the SRBMiner cryptominer for mining XRP cryptocurrency. The attacker utilizes the gRPC protocol over h2c (clear text HTTP/2 protocol) to evade security measures and execute cryptomining operations on Docker hosts. The…

An unknown threat actor is exploiting exposed Docker Remote API servers to deploy the perfctl malware. The attack sequence involves probing the server, creating a Docker container with specific settings, and executing a Base64 encoded payload. The payload escapes the container, creates a bash scrip…

A new cryptojacking campaign targeting Docker Engine API has been discovered, with the ability to move laterally to Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and SSH servers. The attackers exploit exposed Docker API endpoints to deploy cryptocurrency miners and additional malicious payloads. They utilize Docker Hu…

Datadog Security Researchers recently encountered a new campaign that targets Docker API endpoints publicly exposed without authentication, with the objective of spreading cryptojacking malware. The observed TTPs bear resemblance to those seen in Spinning YARN, another campaign discovered in March …

This report details a cryptojacking campaign exploiting exposed Docker remote API servers. Threat actors employ the cmd.cat/chattr Docker image for initial access, utilizing techniques like chroot and volume binding to break out of the container and access host systems. They deploy cryptocurrency m…
