GHOSTMINERGhostMiner

GhostMiner is a new cryptocurrency mining malware. By the end of March 2018, a new variant of mining malware was detected targeting MSSQL, phpMyAdmin, and Oracle WebLogic servers. The sample uses Powershell to execute code with volatile resources and scans the server's processes to detect and stop other miners that might have been running prior to execution. The fileless malware has become more popular in the last years. The malicious code runs directly in main memory without writing any file on disk, where an antivirus engine could detect it.
