【网络安全公司Kaspersky：黑客勒索YouTube博主推广加密挖矿木马】3月12日消息，网络安全公司Kaspersky（卡巴斯基）发现黑客利用版权投诉威胁YouTube内容创作者，迫使其在视频描述中添加加密挖矿木马SilentCryptoMiner。该恶意软件基于XMRig，用于挖掘Ethereum、Ethereum Classic、Monero、Ravencoin等加密货币，并通过比特币区块链控制僵尸网络。 黑客的主要目标是提供Windows Packet Divert驱动安装教程的YouTuber，他们先对视频发起虚假版权投诉，再联系创作者声称自己是驱动的开发者，要求其添加恶意链接。目前已知一名6万粉丝的YouTuber受害，导致40,000多人下载受感染文件，Kaspersky估算至少2,000台设备已被感染。 Kaspersky安全研究员Leonid Bezvershenko警告称，黑客正在利用YouTuber与观众之间的信任，此类威胁或将扩散至Telegram等平台。他建议用户不要轻信要求关闭杀毒软件的教程，并在下载任何文件前核验来源，以防感染加密挖矿木马。
