Coinminer

ATP Sandbox Adv. HeuristicsAVNetskope IPS

Coinminer is a generic detection name for cryptocurrency mining malware that hijacks system resources to mine digital currencies without authorization. Infected systems run slowly and overheat as the malware saturates the processor, and some variants propagate through network shares to widen the infection. The detection covers a wide range of miner families, so analysts should investigate the infection chain that delivered it.
