A hacking campaign has been targeting internet-exposed Microsoft SQL Server databases by brute-forcing weak passwords to gain access. Once inside, attackers install a Monero cryptocurrency miner disguised as a system process and a Gh0st RAT remote access trojan that can steal credentials and control the system. The attack relies on poor password security and misconfigurations rather than advanced exploits. Organizations are advised to use strong passwords, disable risky features like xp_cmdshell, and keep databases off the public internet to prevent such breaches.
