Seriously? More Crypto Bullshit.

Right, so some script kiddies – and let’s be real, it has to be script kiddies – are abusing misconfigured Docker APIs to shove cryptojacking malware onto unsuspecting systems via the Tor network. Like we don’t have enough problems. Apparently, if you leave your Docker API exposed without authentication? You deserve whatever crap gets installed on your servers. It’s basic security hygiene, people!

They’re exploiting a vulnerability where these APIs are open to anyone who can find them (which is apparently *a lot* of people), and then using that access to deploy containers running XMRig – you guessed it, another Monero miner. The attack’s been going on for a while now, spreading like a goddamn virus because nobody bothers to patch or secure anything properly.

What’s new? They are targeting more systems and the scale is increasing. The attackers are using compromised servers as proxies within the Tor network to hide their tracks – original, not. They’re also getting better at evading detection, which means more resources wasted cleaning up this mess. It’s all just a colossal waste of everyone’s time.

The fix? Secure your Docker APIs with authentication and authorization. Seriously. And maybe, *just maybe*, pay attention to security alerts for once. I swear, I’m starting to think people actively want to get hacked.

Look, I once had to clean up a server farm that was running nothing but Bitcoin miners because some intern thought it would be “cool.” Cool? COOL?! It took me three days and enough caffeine to kill a small horse. Don’t be that intern. Just…don’t.
