CrowdStrike has uncovered a new cryptojacking campaign targeting vulnerable Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure using an obscure domain from the payload, container escape attempt and anonymized “dog” mining pools. Called “Kiss-a-dog,” the campaign used multiple command-and-control (C2) servers to launch attacks that attempted to mine cryptocurrency, utilize user and kernel mode rootkits to hide the activity, backdoor compromised containers, move laterally in the network and gain persistence.  The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform helps protect organizations of all sizes from sophisticated breaches, including cryptojacking campaigns such as this.
