Imagine your cloud server being hijacked… and you don't even know it.
That's what’s happening right now — and it's costing companies thousands in stolen CPU power.
What’s Going On?
A sneaky hacker group (called JINX-0132) is abusing popular DevOps tools like:
Docker
HashiCorp Nomad & Consul
Gitea
These tools are meant to help developers, but when they’re misconfigured or left exposed online, hackers quietly break in and install crypto miners like XMRig.
They’re mining coins like Monero in the background — all on your servers!
How They’re Doing It:
They don’t even need malware — they just use open-source tools.
They sneak into poorly protected cloud setups.
They run crypto miners silently, using your CPU to make money for themselves.
Why It’s a Big Deal
🔹 25% of cloud environments use these DevOps tools
🔹 5% are directly exposed to the internet
🔹 And 30% of those are misconfigured — an open door for hackers
This is not just a tech issue — it’s a real money leak. Cloud bills skyrocket, system performance drops, and your company’s security takes a hit.
How to Protect Yourself:
✅ Check if your DevOps tools (Docker, Nomad, etc.) are exposed
✅ Fix weak or default configurations
✅ Limit public internet access
✅ Monitor your CPU usage and server activity
✅ Always update tools to patch known vulnerabilities
Don't let hackers mine your money.
Check your cloud setups NOW — before it’s too late.
