There isn’t a day that goes by without a headline about yet another massive spike in, or a story about someone to purchase the hardware required to become a serious cryptocurrency miner. If many folks are thinking about joining the ‘crypto craze’ movement, they may be surprised to learn that they already have. We’ve documented in-browser miners before on this blog, or what we call, but drive-by download attacks such as those via the RIG exploit kit want a piece of the action, too. While the latter is, we have noticed an increase in malware payloads from EKs that are coin miners, and we think this is going to be something to follow for 2018. Overview Today, we take a look at a prolific campaign that is focused on the distribution of coin miners via drive-by download attacks. We started to notice larger-than-usual payloads from the RIG exploit kit around November 2017, a trend that has continued more recently via a campaign dubbed.

What happened is that the initial dropper contained additional binaries that contributed to its oversized nature as depicted below. Droppers from this campaign have contained one or more coin miners consistently, for at least Monero and lesser known but still popular other currencies such as. One payload leads to two different coin miners.

For the same attack, these two processes will mine for the well-known Monero and Electroneum cryptocurrencies. When both executables are running, the CPU usage on the victim’s computer is maxed at 100 percent. Distribution The, identified as such by, is one of several malvertising chains that relies on the RIG exploit kit to distribute its payloads. Recently, we observed a more complex redirection chain involving bestadbid and various XML feeds upstream, eventually trickling down to the more familiar redirect to RIG. Infection flow showing redirection to RIG EK, followed by coin miner payloads iframe to RIG EK is inserted in Ngay’s template page The dropped binary from RIG EK contains two other artifacts that each lead to a different coin miner and are launched in a rather unusual procedure. In the following sections, we will study their deployment mechanism. Monero miner Monero is one of the most well-known digital currencies that, contrary to Bitcoin, does not require special hardware and provides additional privacy benefits.

Threat actors have jumped on it in via large-scale drive-by mining attacks, with the help of coin miner-purposed malware. Here the Monero miner is downloaded after a convoluted process that also aims at registering it permanently as a running service.
