Go-Based LiquorBot Adapts Cryptomining Payload to Infected Host

[Mohammad.Poorya]

A cryptomining botnet has been attacking unpatched routers since at least May 2019. It exploits a small set of critical vulnerabilities and targets multiple CPU architectures.

Named LiquorBot, the malware is written in Golang (Go) a programming language that has a syntax similar to C but presents some advantages, such as memory safety and garbage collection.
