#AdBlockers are a necessary #ITsecurity measure because #Malvertising is a huge problem!

• Espechally targeting #TechIlliterates and vulnerable people...
  • Thus it's imperative to not just normalize #AdBlocking but also blocking #Malware like #JavaScript which is used to commit these acts alongside #CryptoJacking and even abuse visitors' browsers for #DDoS attacks!

Because by observation I can claim with confidence that most #JS is unnecessary #bloatware if not #malicious as it's #WastefulComputing and used to #track and #deanonymize users without setting #Cookies!

Wer #ClownFlare - #Malware so stümperhaft einsetzt gehört ausm Internet verbannt!

• Deeplinking blockieren ist ein absoluter Arschloch-Move!
• #Javascript-Malware von #CloudFlare ist ableistisch und blockiert #Screenreader und #TUI / #CLI-Browser
• Die Instruktionen sind bei Firmen-IT effektiv nen Aufruf zur Begehung von Sabotage (Lest eure "IT-Richtlinien durch!)

Kann mal wer bei @antidiskriminierung und @BNetzA solchen Seiten mal nen #Denkzettel geben?

• Oder gern auch @Bundesverband denn #Malvertising und #Cryptojacking sind reale Probleme und der Grund warum es IMHO unzumutbar ist solchesn shice zu verlangen!
  • Gerade weil Lösungen wie #Anubis clever genug sind entsprechende Software zu erkennen und anders als CloudFlare nicht Code Dritter nachlädt welcher nicht #SelfHosted ist, was das #Sicherheitsrisiko ist! Von #CloudAct mal agesehen...

Cryptojacking Campaign Exploits Driver to Boost Monero Mining

A sophisticated cryptojacking campaign has been discovered, spreading through pirated software installers. The operation utilizes a customized XMRig miner and a controller component for long-term system access. Unlike browser-based schemes, this campaign deploys system-level malware using deceptive installers masquerading as office software. The modular design enhances resilience, with multiple watchdog processes for persistence. A notable feature is the exploitation of a vulnerable signed driver (CVE-2020-14979) to gain kernel-level access, boosting Monero mining performance by 15% to 50%. The campaign connects to the Kryptex mining pool and uses a Monero wallet for payouts. Organizations are advised to enable Microsoft's vulnerable driver blocklist and implement other protective measures.
