Cryptojacking Chaos: DevOps Servers Under Siege by JINX-0132!
In a hilarious twist on cryptojacking, attackers are exploiting misconfigured DevOps web servers like Docker, Gitea, and HashiCorp Nomad. Known as JINX-0132, this campaign uses GitHub tools to mine cryptocurrency, making it harder to trace. Note: Nomad’s not secure-by-default, and hackers are loving it!
Hot Take:
Looks like cryptojacking is back on the menu, boys! Cybercriminals are targeting DevOps servers, and it’s only a matter of time before they channel their inner pirate and start yelling, “Yo ho ho and a bottle of Nomad misconfigurations!”
Key Points:
- Cybercriminals are targeting publicly accessible DevOps web servers to mine cryptocurrencies using misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
- The JINX-0132 campaign exploits Nomad, Docker, Gitea, and HashiCorp Consul misconfigurations.
- Instead of using their infrastructure, attackers download tools from GitHub repositories.
- Open WebUI is another target, with attackers using AI-generated Python scripts to run miners.
- Thousands of vulnerable instances are exposed worldwide, primarily in China, the US, and Europe.
