![]() What vulnerability did this cryptojacking campaign exploit? In fact, researchers saw cases where non-MikroTik routers were also affected, most likely because the internet service providers (ISPs) in Brazil use MikroTik routers in their main networks. This indicates that users or organizations using a vulnerable MikroTik router are susceptible to cryptojacking. While the majority of the routers were in Brazil, researchers also noted that the attacks are now also spreading outside the country. ![]() As of this writing, over 200,000 MikroTik routers have already been compromised. ![]() The initial phase of the cryptojacking campaign reportedly hacked 72,000 MikroTik routers in Brazil. Here’s what you need to know about this threat: What happened? Security researchers uncovered a cryptojacking campaign - where attackers hijack systems to conduct cryptocurrency mining - that injects a malicious version of Coinhive, a web-based cryptocurrency miner, by exploiting a vulnerability in MikroTik routers.
