Researchers Uncover Undetectable Cloud-Based Crypto Miner Exploiting Microsoft Azure Automation
Cybersecurity researchers from SafeBreach have revealed the development of the first fully undetectable cloud-based cryptocurrency miner, utilizing Microsoft Azure Automation without incurring charges. The study aimed to identify the "ultimate crypto miner," one that offers unlimited computational resources with minimal maintenance, cost, and detection risk.SafeBreach discovered three methods for running the miner, with one capable of execution in a victim's environment without raising alarms. The technique exploited a bug in the Azure pricing calculator, enabling the execution of an unlimited number of jobs at no cost within the attacker's environment. Microsoft has since addressed this issue.Another method involved creating a test job for mining, marking it as "Failed," and then initiating another dummy test job, effectively concealing code execution within the Azure environment. Threat actors could leverage these methods, establishing a reverse shell to achieve their goals.Additionally, the researchers found that code execution was possible by exploiting Azure Automation's feature allowing users to upload custom Python packages. Microsoft responded, categorizing the behavior as "by design," indicating that the method remains exploitable without charges.SafeBreach released a proof-of-concept called CloudMiner, showcasing the ability to harness free computing power within Azure Automation using the Python package upload mechanism. The cybersecurity firm cautioned that these techniques could extend beyond cryptocurrency mining, posing a threat to any task requiring code execution on Azure.Donate, help us continue our work 🙏 #CyberThreats #CryptoMining #HackerAlert
Cardano’s Marlowe Update Revolutionizes Smart Contract Development: Unlocking Access for All
Drag, Drop, and Create: Cardano's User-Friendly Marlowe DSL Empowers a New Generation of Smart Contract Programmers
A new update with the domain-specific language (DSL) #Marlowe has been implemented by #Cardano the cryptocurrency network developed by Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum.
Activation within the Cardano mainnet was performed this May 30 early morning, as confirmed by the official Marlowe account, noting that the development team had been working on this upgrade since June 2022, as noted on the official Github.
Unlike a traditional #programming language for smart contract programming, such as #Solidity, Marlowe offers a graphical interface, allowing users to create smart contracts through pre-programmed modules. This opens up the possibility for more people to create and audit their own contracts in ADA.
Cardano shared the official documentation on how to use Marlowe for smart contract development. Users only need to drag and drop the different modules that make up their contract, without any syntax.
