Cryptocurrency Miners Using Hacked Cloud Accounts, Google Warns by naijapower(m): 12:46pm On Nov 30, 2021 |
Cyberhackers are using compromised cloud accounts to mine cryptocurrency, Google has warned. Details of the mining hack are contained in a report by Google’s cybersecurity action team, which spots hacking threats against its cloud service – a collection of remote computing services which can include storage of customers’ data and files off-site – and gives advice on how to tackle them.[url] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/nov/25/cryptocurrency-miner-hacked-google-cloud-account-cybersecurity-action-team-threat-horizon-report [/url] 6 Likes 3 Shares

Elsewhere in the report, Google said the Russian government-backed hacking group APT28, also known as Fancy Bear, targeted 12,000 Gmail accounts in a mass attempt at phishing, where users are tricked into handing over their login details. If people are that dumb to give their google account login details to strangers then that is not hacking 1 Like |

All I see is a conspiracy against the Russians... How do they even confirmed it's the Russian hackers. US that owns goggle haven't adopted crypto currency fully.. Now they are trying to bring the market down by propagating these news about hacking and all.. By the time crypto dropped fully, they will then buy in bulk. Like owning larger BTC worth. They just want to own everything.. They did the same to Blackberry, a Canadian owned company. Damn them! 12 Likes |

Ragner:So basically in order to mine cryptocurrency (i.e solve some blockchain eq to gain tokens)...you need some good computer rig setup, this setup and mining cost time, money, and power (electricity).... Google offers infrastructure as a service, where you can set up a server/computing rig on google cloud and run whatever kind of service you want for a fee... So basically these hackers are hacking into this service(people who have cloud service accounts) and setting up mining rigs on google cloud for free....mining their cryptocurrency without paying (money and power cost) 17 Likes 1 Share |

Ragner: The process of generating power is called power generation, the process of giving birth to Bitcoin for example is called Mining. Mining power is generated from plugging together several computing machine, that Carrie’s out the mathematical process of confirming crypto transactions in other words, Bitcoin is generated through mining. These machine power has advanced to the stage where it can be done wirelessly (cloud power) since google has a big storage capacity with their super computers, they have the largest mining power worldwide. should google get involved with crypto, it’s game over for those who are against crypto. Hackers know this, so they’re targeting people and companies using these google cloud services like it’s theirs to solve crypto transactions for the purpose of making profits. 12 Likes |
