"Worm Hits Docker Containers"
Palo Alto Network’s threat intelligence, Unit 42, has reported a crypto-jacking worm, called Graboid, that was found in images on Docker Hub. Researchers believe an attacker leveraged unsecured Docker daemons to deploy and spread the worm. Although researchers have seen other incidents of cryptomining malware being spread as a worm, this is the first time a cryptojacking malware has been spread using Docker application containers. This article continues to discuss the Graboid worm in regard to its distribution, capabilities, and limitations.
