Cryptocurrency-mining botnet uses a Taylor Swift image to hide malware payloads
#1
Quote:The operators of a cryptocurrency-mining botnet are currently using an image of pop singer Taylor Swift to hide malware payloads they send to infected computers -- as part of their normal infection chain.

The name of the botnet is MyKingz, also known as Smominru, DarkCloud, or Hexmen, depending on the cyber-security firm whose report you're reading.
