Microsoft SQL Servers targeted by malware mining Monero and spying since Oct 2026

FortiGuard Labs uncovered a cyberattack campaign targeting Microsoft SQL Server systems exposed to the internet. Attackers exploited weak passwords and configuration flaws to install a Monero cryptocurrency miner disguised as MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe and a Gh0st RAT variant capable of keystroke logging and screenshot capture. These malicious programs maintain persistence through registry edits and scheduled tasks. The campaign has been active since at least early October 2026, but the total number of affected victims and the responsible party remain unknown.

FortiGuard Labs' SQL Server attack campaign is the subject, with Pluang market data providing context. Of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang, 4 rose and 45 fell today. Notable movers include XTZ at Rp4.124 (-6.32%), UNI at Rp99.966 (-5.87%), and SOL at Rp1.382.552 (-5.81%), as of Nov 14, 2026 18:41 WIB.
