Well i created a special tool to scan your network to see if your miners are being exploited remotely or not. This was build as proof of concept tool to show a huge miner exploit.

Because of some script kiddies reverse engineering and decompiling the tool, and posting it on topic with a fake antivirus link, linking to a Java drive by exploit, i locked the topic and asked a admin to remove it.

You can still search the topic in the 'mining' section, called "KnC Miner : Security hacked - UPDATE with TOOL"

On topic:

The main problem is these viruses are NOT detected by your AV because they are crypted to be, what's called, FUD (Fully Undetectable).

They pay big bucs for those crypters to keep them always FUD. Never ever will an AV or malwarebytes pick up a virus that has been 100% FUD crypted.

It takes you only to click a stupid link, like the one user ici_lemmy posted in my topic, to get infected. You can only know if you are infected or not by scanning if your miners are being remotely viewed, or, an instance of cgminer/bfgminer is running silent full hidden on your system.

Never be fooled by thinking "I have a good AV scanner, i'm safe", because you are NOT and never will be.

There are thousands of computers hooked up in botnets to mine without the users knowing it.
