| Description: | | This event indicates outbound traffic generated by a Monero-mining trojan that is attempting to register itself with its command-and-control pool. The malware silently consumes CPU and GPU resources to solve cryptographic puzzles for the benefit of an external attacker, causing severe performance degradation, shortened hardware life, and inflated power costs. Because mining logic is embedded in user-land or kernel-land code without authorization, the infection also serves as a foothold that can be leveraged to deploy additional payloads, steal credentials, or move laterally inside the network. |
