Cointelegraph reports that BlackBerry's cybersecurity arm revealed in a recent study that, while defending against over 1.5 million cyberattacks between March and May, target computers were found to be hijacked and forcibly used for cryptocurrency mining or theft. Warning against a surge in this type of malware, BlackBerry highlighted Smokeloader, Raccoon Stealer, and Vidal as the most prevalent ones related to 'forced mining of cryptocurrency.' Vidal is also commonly used to steal cryptocurrency wallets. Stay vigilant in cybersecurity.
