A cryptojacking campaign, known as JINX-0132, is targeting exposed DevOps servers like Docker and Gitea to mine cryptocurrency secretly.
The threat actors exploit misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in tools like Nomad, Consul, Docker, and Gitea to deliver the miner.
The attackers rely on public GitHub tools and XMRig versions instead of custom malware, making attribution and clustering difficult.
This campaign highlights the importance of securing DevOps tools properly, as 25% of cloud environments use these technologies, with 5% exposed directly to the internet and 30% of those misconfigured.
