Malware researchers from security firm Sophos have analyzed a new strain of malware detected as Mal/Miner-C that was designed to abuse resources of the infected machine to mine Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency.
The experts discovered that the new malware leverages network-attached storage (NAS) devices as attack vector. The authors of Mal/Miner-C sued the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) scripting language to develop it.
