The TA hosted a phishing site to deliver the payload of coin-miner malware bundled with legitimate MSI Afterburner installers.Ĭrypto mining is a power and resource-intensive activity that requires dedicated hardware like GPUs. The TAs behind these campaigns used sophisticated phishing pages that mimic the legitimate MSI Afterburner site to lure the users into downloading coin-miner malware that performs the crypto-mining process.
Recently, Cyble Research & Intelligence Labs (CRIL) identified several phishing campaigns targeting MSI Afterburner software to deliver coin-miner malware. Threat Actors (TAs) generally target these software tools to deliver malware to the user’s machine. Gamers and other high-performance computing users use various utility software tools such as MSI Afterburner, which monitors system performance and allows users to modify the hardware settings to enhance the system’s performance.
