A cryptojacking and stealing malware infected tens of thousands of devices over the past few months, but the attackers made off with only around $6,000.
Malware has infected tens of thousands of users to take over their devices to mine and try to steal crypto — but it only ended up bagging around $6,000.
Cybersecurity firm Doctor Web reported on Oct. 8 that it detected malware disguising itself as legitimate software, such as office programs, game cheats, and online trading bots.
The cryptojacking and stealing software infected over 28,000 users, mainly in Russia but also in Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey.
