One of the bleeding wounds of the crypto money industry is known as the unauthorized mining of malicious software by attackers.
Mining, which is usually done in a way that reduces the performance with the malicious software installed on the computer, does not attract the attention of the users. Google Cloud took a step to prevent this.
Google Cloud Takes Action For CryptoJacking
Google Cloud was heavily hit by these attacks due to its cloud infrastructure, but the solution was not delayed. GCAT, Google’s cybersecurity team, has set up a threat detection system. The system in question will detect poorly protected accounts and warn people that attackers may target.
The Google Cloud team also made a statement on the subject. VMTD announced the system. The system in question will detect threats by scanning the processor and areas in Google Cloud. These threats, of course, include malware focused on cryptocurrency mining. The new system, which will scan virtual machines and cloud-based devices instead of hardware directly, can revolutionize.
“Cryptojacking” Cryptocurrency-focused mining attacks, also known as cryptocurrencies, broke records especially in 2019. In the year of the bear market, attackers sought to trap too many people in order to get the most out of it.
The crypto money attacks, which achieved a serious increase in 2021, were led by ransom attacks. Especially the attacks on big institutions in the USA caught the attention of even Joe Biden.
