Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't another ingenious scheme by the cyber baddies! This time, they're playing the ultimate multitasker, juggling between mining cryptocurrency with XMRig and gaming web traffic with 9Hits Viewer. It's like discovering your vacuum cleaner can also make smoothies—it's unexpected, bizarre, and frankly, kinda genius. But instead of sipping on a fruity blend, we're left cleaning up the mess as our Docker hosts gasp for CPU breath. Bravo, hackers, for your creativity, but maybe next time, use those powers for something a little less... felonious?
