HeadCrab Botnet Targets 1,200 Redis Servers in a New Elusive Campaign
Aqua Security researchers found a new malware, dubbed HeadCrab, that has infected over a thousand Redis servers since September 2021. Researchers found approximately 1,200 actively infected servers that it has been abusing to mine Monero cryptocurrency. HeadCrab uses state-of-the-art infrastructure that is largely undetectable by agentless and traditional anti-virus solutions.
